Twitter is introducing a way to adjust the playback speed of videos on the platform. Twitter has announce that the company is testing new video playback speed options on the Twitter app for Android as well as for Web.
Users, who are part of the test, can reportedly see a small gear to change the speed while watching videos.
They are being given the option to either slow down a video or speed it up.
This feature is slowly rolling out and should be available for everyone in the near future.
The video playback speed option on Twitter is in the test mode and is only available to a few users as of now.
Users who can access the playback speed options will see a small gear to change the speed of the video.
The video content can be slow down 0.25x or can be sped up to 2x.
This feature will give users more flexibility in consuming video content.
The feature is yet to roll out for the Twitter app for iPhone and iPad devices.
Twitter is reportedly also working on a new Twitter Articles feature that could allow users to post tweets with longer text.
According to details share by reverse engineering expert, Jane Manchun Wong, on Twitter, the company may allow users to write posts beyond the existing 280-character limit on the platform.
Users can tweet longer text pieces using threads, but the new feature could allow for uninterrupt text in a single tweet.
Twitter is yet to make an official announcement regarding Twitter Articles.
In 2x, 1x, 0.5x…now testing more options in playback speed for videos.
