Twitter continues to introduce new features for its paid subscription tier Blue. The platform, which previously gave Blue the right to upload an hour of video exclusively, extended this period. It will now be possible to share up to two hours of videos on Twitter.
Video duration extended for Twitter Blue
Twitter Blue subscribers are getting an update that increases the maximum video length from 60 minutes to two hours. A while ago, two huge movies (Avatar: Path of Water and Super Mario Brothers) were disassembled and uploaded to Twitter. That’s why the platform said copyright rules would apply.
The company, on the other hand, is going to a new size limitation for the video file. It has been reported that the limit for two-hour videos has been increased from 2 GB to 8 GB. The latest update is available via the Twitter app for iOS.
The social media giant’s development of video features follows its efforts to rival TikTok and YouTube. Let’s underline that Twitter is still not a video platform. Even if you are a Blue subscriber, the videos you can upload to Twitter will be up to 1080p resolution.
But extending the video duration raises concerns in the fight against piracy. In recent months, Twitter users have shared copyrighted movies. The new video update removes this limitation that could fuel piracy and copyright infringement.
However, a new name is expected to take the Twitter CEO seat very soon. Linda Yaccarino, one of the well-known names in the media world, will manage the social media platform. While She is known by the media and TV, it is not known how she will address these concerns.
