Bluesky lets you post videos now

Bluesky, the decentralized X alternative, now supports video. The platform announced on Wednesday that you can share videos up to 60 seconds long on its desktop site and mobile app.announced on Wednesday

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’s video feature, as the platform will only allow up to 25 video uploads (or 10GB of video) per day.

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’s 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.

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, so you might not see it right away.rolling out this feature gradually

Bringing video to Bluesky helps bridge the — gradually closing — gap between X and the decentralized platform. The move should help expand community, as it will finally allow sports fans, meme-sharers, and news organizations to share video content across the platform.
