How To Upload Video To Twitter
Twitter has over 330 million monthly users, with 139 million of these accounts being active on a daily basis. Over 500 million tweets are being sent out through the service daily - of these, videos are six times more likely to receive retweets than images, and three times more likely to be retweeted than GIFs!
Before we get started on ways to share or upload video on Twitter, there’s a few things to remember:
1 - Like most social media platforms, it’s easy to share from video sharing sites like RU-vid
or Vimeo to Twitter by pasting a link to videos of any length
2 - Twitter has set limit on any ‘direct’ video upload to 2 minutes and 20 seconds - to share longer videos, you’ll need to use the link sharing method. Simply paste the video link, wait for it to load, then tweet to share.
3 - For direct video uploads you can use the Twitter app on your mobile device, or Twitter’s website on your computer. Here’s how to approach both:
Uploading Existing Video from Desktop
1. Go to Twitter’s main feed, then click the “Tweet” option on the left side of the screen.
2. Click the photo icon on the bottom left, then select the video you’d like to upload from
your computer.
- Video file format can either be .MP4 or .MOV. However, .MP4 format is recomended for
desktop/
- Maximum length allowed for videos is 140 seconds, with a maximum file size of 512MB.
- Twitter accepts both portrait and landscape layouts for videos. Unlike other apps there’s
no preference for best format, although landscape and square formats have been much
more widely adopted on Twitter.
3. Once your video has uploaded it will be attached to your tweet - write a caption to
accompany your video post, or add emojis by clicking the “Emoji” option on the bottom
of the tweet. Note Twitter has a 280 character limit for tweets, but videos do not count
towards this character limit.
- Tip: You can post multiple tweets at the same time. To do this, click the “Plus” icon on
the bottom right to add another tweet to an existing one.
4. Click “Tweet” to publish your video to the main feed.
Tip: On Twitter, native video uploads will autoplay in the Twitter feed, and all videos
posted to Twitter that are 60 seconds or shorter will automatically loop.
Uploading from Mobile
1. In the app, from the main feed press the “Plus” icon on the bottom right of the screen.
2. Press the photo icon on the bottom left to upload your video, and select your video from your camera roll. The .MOV file format is preferred for video uploads through the mobile app.
3. If you tap the screen, you can quickly access your video through the scrollbar which showcases your camera roll, as well as having the option to record footage for your tweet. To record a video, press the “Camera” icon on the left side of the scroll bar to access your camera.
4. After your video is attached, add a description for your video, location tag, or also add multiple tweets if needed, and press the “Tweet” option on the top right corner for your tweet to go public.
- Tip: Through the camera option, you can also publish a live video to your followers. To
access the live video option, simply slide from “Capture” to “Live” on the camera. To
begin broadcasting your live video, simply press “Go Live”. You can also add a
description and location and have guests interact with you whilst you are live.
