Videos can\u2019t be edited with Twitter\u2019s Video Publisher, and no advertising is supported \u201cat this time.\u201d Twitter says that anything that\u2019s been uploaded to YouTube can also be uploaded to Twitter\u2019s platform just so long as it meets the length requirements; there are no size limits, and Twitter is encouraging users to upload the highest possible quality video.<\/p>\n<p>Although no advertising will be in videos, Twitter will allow analytics to be tracked, including promoted and organic traffic. The social network\u2019s FAQ page says Twitter Video Cards will be supported directly on Twitter\u2019s site, Twitter for iOS and Twitter for Android.<\/p>\n<p>Right now <a class=\"vglnk\" href=\"http:\/\/video.twitter.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">video.twitter.com<\/a> is only available to verified users, so it seems testing is most definitely happening behind the scenes. When the service will launch is unclear, though Twitter did apparently say it\u2019ll happen in the early part of 2015. One it does launch, the new video option will no doubt be a major boon for brands hoping to share promotional videos about products and the like.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more at the source link below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"infinite-scroll-metadata\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"sourcevia-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sourcevia fCaps fLS0\"><span class=\"label fLS1\">SOURCE<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/video.twitter.com\/faq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TWITTER<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter is planning to join in on the fight against YouTube.
