Bluesky, the decentralized alternative to X, now supports video, and the platform announced that you can share videos up to 60 seconds long on its desktop site and mobile app
Videos will autoplay by default, but Bluesky says you can turn this feature off in the settings menu, and 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 against malicious content or spam, Bluesky will ask users to verify their email addresses before posting a video
Bluesky may also ban someone from posting videos if they repeatedly violate its community guidelines, and the platform will also moderate 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 find out if you have access to video sharing by updating Bluesky on the desktop site or updating the mobile app to version 1.91. Bluesky is rolling out this feature gradually, so you may not see it right away. Bringing video to Bluesky also helps bridge the gap between X and the decentralized platform, and the move should help expand the Bluesky community, eventually allowing sports fans, meme-sharing, and news organizations to share video content across the platform
