In a bold move aimed at reshaping the online video landscape, Twitter has announced a significant expansion of its video capacity, allowing users to upload and share videos of up to two hours in duration.
This strategic decision positions Twitter as a genuine competitor to YouTube, challenging its long-held hegemony in the realm of video content.
Twitter's decision to increase its video limit from the previous 140-second cap to a whopping two-hour timeframe signifies the platform's determination to attract content creators and capture a larger share of the video market.
Twitter's competitive push comes at a time when YouTube faces scrutiny over its content moderation policies, demonetisation concerns, and the rise of alternative video-sharing platforms.
The expanded video capacity could lure creators away from YouTube, offering them an enticing opportunity to diversify their content distribution and connect with a vast user base on Twitter.
While Twitter's video capabilities still have room to grow compared to YouTube's established infrastructure, the platform's willingness to invest in longer videos demonstrates its commitment to innovation and capturing a share of the lucrative video advertising market.
