Bluesky Video Support Has Been Launched 

Bluesky video support has been introduced in the platform and users will be able to upload videos of up to sixty seconds on the desktop and mobile versions.

Before Bluesky video support was available, the platform was limited to texts, images, reposts, messages and replies. But with this new feature, Bluesky is expected to rise to the ranks of the likes of X, Instagram Threads and more. The platform still has a long way to go to reach the same level of users as the other top social media platforms. However, this journey to the top might not even take that long. This is because the platform recently saw a drastic increase in new registered users from Brazil after X was banned in the country. 

To check the feature’s availability, users have to refresh their desktop app. They can also update the app to the latest version 1.91. Bluesky has stated that videos will be auto-played as default. But this can easily be turned off through the settings menu. Users can even add subtitles to their videos. Labels can also be applied to the videos. 

Bluesky Video Support: What the new feature entails 

There is a limitation with the Bluesky video support. For instance, users can only upload up to 25 videos a day. On another note, Bluesky has also taken steps to protect the platform from spam and harmful and malicious content. The social media platform requires users to verify their email addresses to go ahead with their video uploads. Bluesky will restrict the specific users’ video upload capability if they are repeatedly found guilty of violating the site’s guidelines. 

Furthermore, Bluesky will be running its videos through Hive and Thorn. This ensures that illegal content such as Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) does not under any condition get posted on Bluesky.
