After taking up Twitter, Elon Musk had long promised that the company is working in direction of making the platform further attention-grabbing to video creators. In the mean time, Twitter updated the Twitter Blue page declaring that subscribers can now add 60-minute motion pictures from the online at 1080p determination and 2GB in file dimension.
Earlier to the change, Twitter Blue subscribers have been able to add 10-minute motion pictures on the platform at 1080p determination with a file size limit of 512MB. Sadly, must you’re importing from iOS or Android, this limit stays to be related.

The model new 60-minute video limit makes it easier for culprits to publish one other individual’s work.
There are moreover questions on monetization from these motion pictures. YouTube reveals quite a lot of adverts in longer motion pictures, but it surely certainly’s not clear in the meanwhile if Twitter is planning on doing one factor associated.
