  and how it could impact the social media landscape.
• 0:18
  Now, in recent years, Twitter has been facing growing
• 0:21
  competition from other social media platforms, like Instagram
• 0:25
  Tick-Tock and YouTube now to stay relevant and retain its
• 0:29
  user base. Twitter has been flooring new

  This regard is its plans to become a dominant.
• 0:37
  Video platform. Twitter's video Ambitions were
• 0:40
  first hinted at in 2015, when the company acquired Periscope a
• 0:45
  live video streaming app and since then Twitter has been
• 0:47
  experimenting with video features such as live streaming
• 0:50
  and auto-playing videos in the timeline.
• 0:53
  Now however, until recently Twitter's video capabilities
• 0:56
  were limited and it was not seen as a serious competitor to Video
• 1:01
  platforms like YouTube. Now that's all set to change.
• 1:04
  With Twitter's brand new development, phase will see.
• 1:07
  The company making significant changes to, its current layout
• 1:11
  in the home feed. And the new layout will
• 1:13
  incorporate 4K video, which is the highest quality video
• 1:18
  resolution available in similar to YouTube.
• 1:21
  Additionally Twitter is adding vertical video capabilities,
• 1:25
  similar to YouTube shorts, or Tick Tock, which is a become
• 1:29
  increasingly popular. Among users.
• 1:32
  Now, with the addition of these features Twitter hopes to
• 1:35
  attract creators, who want to produce high quality video
• 1:38
  content that can rival YouTube and creators will be able to
• 1:43
  take advantage of Twitter's, very large user base, in the
• 1:46
  platform's real-time nature to engage with their audience and
• 1:50
  build the brand. Now, to support the new video
• 1:52
  capabilities, Twitter's adding more functionality to it's live
• 1:56
  streaming feature creators, will be able to earn money through
• 1:59
  donations. A live chat and tips as well as
• 2:02
  advertising revenue and Twitter is reportedly planning a revenue
• 2:06
  split of 70% for creators and 30% for the company, which could
• 2:12
  help. Some creators, make significant
• 2:14
  Revenue with the platform and in an earlier iteration of its
• 2:18
  live-chat tipping model through its Periscope app.
• 2:22
  Users could super heart which would give the Creator a small
• 2:25
  tip. Every time one was used during
• 2:28
  their live stream, this model is likely Lee to be expanded to
• 2:32
  include pre mid, and post roll, advertisements, and something
• 2:36
  similar to tick. Tock where ADS are shown between
• 2:39
  scrolled videos, and Twitter's move into video is already
• 2:44
  attracting attention from some big names in the industry.
• 2:46
  Popular YouTuber, mr. Beast has been voicing his
• 2:49
  support for the platform and is discussed how he would share his
• 2:53
  content on both YouTube and Twitter.
• 2:55
  If the revenue model made sense, however Twitter's video
• 2:59
  Ambitions don't Stop with just live streaming and on-demand
• 3:02
  video content. The company is also looking to
• 3:05
  add more features to enhance the video viewing experience such as
• 3:09
  watch party feature. That will allow users to watch
• 3:11
  videos together in real time. Similar to the Netflix party
• 3:15
  extension. And additionally, Twitter is
• 3:18
  also looking at ways to improve video discovery and
• 3:21
  recommendation features which is a key aspect of any Successful

  video platform company is reportedly testing a new feature
• 3:28
  that will allow users to follow specific.
• 3:30
  Topics and have videos related to those topics appear in their
• 3:33
  feed. Now, while Twitter's video
• 3:36
  Ambitions are impressive, the platform still has a long way to
• 3:39
  go before it. Can compete head-to-head with
• 3:40
  YouTube, which is over 2 billion monthly active users and is the
• 3:45
  go-to destination for video creators.
• 3:48
  However, Twitter's real-time nature and its ability to
• 3:51
  connect creators, With Their audience and real-time could
• 3:54
  give it an edge over other video platforms.
• 3:57
  And Twitter's Ambitions for video.

  becoming a destination for real-time news and events.

  and new creators who prioritize video content.
• 4:38
  Now moreover Twitter's, new monetization options could

  provide significant Revenue opportunities for creators.

  decision to offer a higher Revenue split than YouTube, it
• 4:52
  could attract more high-profile creators and they could jump
• 4:55
  ship from you. YouTube to just using Twitter as
