Twitter is basically known as a “text-driven” social media platform. You write an article and many people see it. However, with the changes made in recent times, Twitter has set off to another dimension. Now, a new menu related to Twitter videos is coming. So what does Twitter’s new video menu offer us? Here are the details…
You will be able to download any video you want on the Twitter platform!
Twitter user Andrea Conwat, who is also a Twitter web designer, shared the new Twitter menu on her profile. When we look at the images, we realize that we can use this menu while watching any Twitter video. Playback speed, playback quality, subtitles etc. from within the menu. It has all the features that a professional video platform should have.
In addition, you can easily download the video you watch from the menu to your device. This new feature brought another question to mind. Why would a platform built mainly on text sharing need to add a video menu that can be considered truly professional? Is Twitter’s eye on YouTube?
There is no complete answer to this question. However, it should be noted that serious video updates have been made within the platform since last year. In the first place, Twitter made it possible to upload full-screen vertical videos similar to TikTok and Instagram Reels. You can also make minor adjustments to these videos.
After the vertical video format, a special update was made for Twitter Blue users. Blue subscriber users started uploading videos up to 2 hours long to the platform. The video menu that comes after all this seems to mean something.
Twitter may be looking to turn into a video platform, literally. By nature, doing so can be risky. Because Twitter is used as a means of discussion, especially in countries like Türkiye. It is being discussed how appropriate it would be to have a very animated TikTok video within the platform.
There is no word on when the feature will arrive. In addition, it is unclear whether it will be exclusive to all users or only Blue members. It is only expected that the design team will announce the feature as soon as possible. So what do you think about the Twitter video menu? Don’t forget to give your opinion in the comments section…
