Bluesky, the decentralized X alternative, now supports video. The platform announced on Wednesday<\/a> that you can share videos up to 60 seconds long on its desktop site and mobile app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The videos will autoplay by default, but Bluesky says you can turn this feature off in the settings menu. You can also add subtitles to your videos, as well as apply labels for things like adult content. There are some limitations to Bluesky\u2019s video feature, as the platform will only allow up to 25 video uploads (or 10GB of video) per day. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n To protect Bluesky from harmful content or spam, it will require users to verify their email addresses before posting a video. Bluesky may also take away someone\u2019s ability to post videos if they repeatedly violate its community guidelines. The platform will also run videos through Hive, an AI moderation solution, and Thorn, a nonprofit that fights child sexual abuse, to check for illegal content or media that needs a warning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n You can see if you have access to video sharing by refreshing Bluesky on the desktop site or by updating the mobile app to version 1.91. Bluesky is rolling out this feature gradually<\/a>, so you might not see it right away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Bringing video to Bluesky helps bridge the \u2014 gradually closing \u2014 gap between X and the decentralized platform. The move should help expand Bluesky\u2019s community, as it will finally allow sports fans, meme-sharers, and news organizations to share video content across the platform.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
