Twitter Blue Subscribers Can Now Post 2-Hour-Long Videos With 8GB Limit

Ever since Elon Musk took charge of Twitter, the platform has been actively exploring various new features and modifications. One of the recent additions is the introduction of Twitter Blue, a subscription service that offers exclusive perks to its members. Among these benefits, Twitter Blue subscribers now have the ability to upload videos with a duration of up to 2 hours and a file size limit of 8GB.

Twitter Feature Limited to Web and iOS App Users for Now

At present, this feature is available to users accessing Twitter through the web and the iOS app. However, Android users are currently restricted to uploading videos that are no longer than 10 minutes. Non-Blue subscribers, regardless of their device, will continue to have a video duration limit of 140 seconds.

How to Post 2-Hour-Long Videos on Twitter?

To share lengthier videos on Twitter, Twitter Blue members can effortlessly follow these simple steps:

1. Open the compose box on twitter.com or the Twitter app for iOS.
2. Select the desired video file from your device.
3. Click on the "Tweet" button to initiate the upload and share the video with your followers.

Twitter Blue users can upload multiple videos without any restrictions, even if they reach the maximum duration limit. The uploaded videos will maintain a resolution of 1080p and must not exceed an 8GB file size.

Someone uploaded Shrek the Third in its entirety on Twitter

Funnily enough, it didn't take long for a verified user to exploit this newfound capability by promptly sharing an uncut, pirated copy of the 2007 film "Shrek the Third."

For nearly two hours, the illicit video stubbornly held its position as the prominent response to Musk's announcement. Eventually, a copyright strike compelled its removal from the social media platform, but this incident raised pertinent concerns regarding Twitter's efficacy in moderating content and preventing future occurrences of copyright infringement.

Elon Musk's tenure as a leader on the Twitter platform has been marked by a series of notable changes, leading to both admiration and skepticism among users. In his ongoing efforts to improve the overall user experience, Musk has introduced several significant initiatives. These include a plan to purge inactive accounts, a reconsideration of the platform's API policies in response to public backlash, and the appointment of a new CEO to steer Twitter's future endeavors.
