Musk announces the development on Twitter himself
Ever since his
Twitter takeover, Elon Musk has continued to make the most ludicrous decisions
for the social media website.
He first conditioned the possession
of a blue verification badge with a paid subscription, allowed Twitter Blue
subscribers with the perks of tweets with longer characters and the ability to
edit them, tweaked the website's algorithm and also recently announced to
delete account which are no longer active.
In his latest bid, the tech billionaire has announced the app's
latest update which will allow the verification badge users to upload
two-hours-long videos that can be up to 8GB in size.
Musk announced
the development on Twitter himself.
"Twitter Blue Verified
subscribers can now upload two hour videos (8GB)!," he tweeted.
After
the announcement was made by the business magnate, someone even added what
seemed like the complete version of Shrek the Third in response to Musk's
tweet as a comment. The video was, however, later taken down, The Verge
reported.
According to Musk's tweet, users subscribed to Twitter Blue will
be able to upload videos at 1080 pixels resolution sized 8GB is smaller.
"The
longer two-hour video uploads are also only available if you’re uploading from
the web or iOS, according to a support document. If you’re on Android, you’re
currently limited to posting videos that are 10 minutes long at most," tech
publication The Verge mentioned.
Meanwhile, regular users of the
application will still be able to post the maximum 140-seconds videos.
"Twitter
is also still working on a way to share advertising revenue with Blue
subscribers even though Musk said in February that the feature was available,"
The Verge reported.
