of the most Innovative 
entrepreneurs of our time.

00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,500
And in this episode we dive into
Twitter's next development phase

5
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:18,100
and how it could impact the 
social media landscape. 

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,400
Now, in recent years, Twitter 
has been facing growing 

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,000
competition from other social 
media platforms, like Instagram 

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,000
Tick-Tock and YouTube now to 
stay relevant and retain its 

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,400
user base. 
Twitter has been flooring new 

10
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,900
ways to engage its audience in 
the latest development in. 

11
00:00:34,900 --> 00:00:37,500
This regard is its plans to 
become a dominant. 

12
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:40,800
Video platform. 
Twitter's video Ambitions were 

13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,100
first hinted at in 2015, when 
the company acquired Periscope a

14
00:00:45,108 --> 00:00:47,800
live video streaming app and 
since then Twitter has been 

15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,700
experimenting with video 
features such as live streaming 

16
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:52,900
and auto-playing videos in the 
timeline. 

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,900
Now however, until recently 
Twitter's video capabilities 

18
00:00:56,900 --> 00:01:01,200
were limited and it was not seen
as a serious competitor to Video

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,800
platforms like YouTube. 
Now that's all set to change. 

20
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,700
With Twitter's brand new 
development, phase will see. 

21
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:11,500
The company making significant 
changes to, its current layout 

22
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:13,900
in the home feed. 
And the new layout will 

23
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:17,900
incorporate 4K video, which is 
the highest quality video 

24
00:01:18,100 --> 00:01:21,500
resolution available in similar 
to YouTube. 

25
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:25,500
Additionally Twitter is adding 
vertical video capabilities, 

26
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:28,900
similar to YouTube shorts, or 
Tick Tock, which is a become 

27
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,700
increasingly popular. 
Among users. 

28
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:35,300
Now, with the addition of these 
features Twitter hopes to 

29
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:38,100
attract creators, who want to 
produce high quality video 

30
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:43,100
content that can rival YouTube 
and creators will be able to 

31
00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:46,600
take advantage of Twitter's, 
very large user base, in the 

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,100
platform's real-time nature to 
engage with their audience and 

33
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:52,600
build the brand. 
Now, to support the new video 

34
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,100
capabilities, Twitter's adding 
more functionality to it's live 

35
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:59,400
streaming feature creators, will
be able to earn money through 

36
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,900
donations. 
A live chat and tips as well as 

37
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:06,700
advertising revenue and Twitter 
is reportedly planning a revenue

38
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:12,100
split of 70% for creators and 
30% for the company, which could

39
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:14,300
help. 
Some creators, make significant 

40
00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:18,800
Revenue with the platform and in
an earlier iteration of its 

41
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,000
live-chat tipping model through 
its Periscope app. 

42
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,700
Users could super heart which 
would give the Creator a small 

43
00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:28,300
tip. 
Every time one was used during 

44
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:32,600
their live stream, this model is
likely Lee to be expanded to 

45
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,800
include pre mid, and post roll, 
advertisements, and something 

46
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,700
similar to tick. 
Tock where ADS are shown between

47
00:02:39,700 --> 00:02:44,200
scrolled videos, and Twitter's 
move into video is already 

48
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,800
attracting attention from some 
big names in the industry. 

49
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:49,500
Popular YouTuber, mr. 
Beast has been voicing his 

50
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:53,100
support for the platform and is 
discussed how he would share his

51
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:55,500
content on both YouTube and 
Twitter. 

52
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:59,300
If the revenue model made sense,
however Twitter's video 

53
00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:02,700
Ambitions don't Stop with just 
live streaming and on-demand 

54
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:05,200
video content. 
The company is also looking to 

55
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,300
add more features to enhance the
video viewing experience such as

56
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:11,800
watch party feature. 
That will allow users to watch 

57
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,300
videos together in real time. 
Similar to the Netflix party 

58
00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:18,200
extension. 
And additionally, Twitter is 

59
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,100
also looking at ways to improve 
video discovery and 

60
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:25,000
recommendation features which is
a key aspect of any Successful 

61
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,200
video platform company is 
reportedly testing a new feature

62
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,400
that will allow users to follow 
specific. 

63
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:33,500
Topics and have videos related 
to those topics appear in their 

64
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:36,200
feed. 
Now, while Twitter's video 

65
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,000
Ambitions are impressive, the 
platform still has a long way to

66
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,900
go before it. 
Can compete head-to-head with 

67
00:03:40,900 --> 00:03:45,800
YouTube, which is over 2 billion
monthly active users and is the 

68
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,000
go-to destination for video 
creators. 

69
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:51,700
However, Twitter's real-time 
nature and its ability to 

70
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:54,200
connect creators, With Their 
audience and real-time could 

71
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,500
give it an edge over other video
platforms. 

72
00:03:57,300 --> 00:03:59,100
And Twitter's Ambitions for 
video. 

73
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:01,600
We're also in line with the 
company's broader strategy of 

74
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,700
becoming a destination for 
real-time news and events. 

75
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,800
The platform is already become a
popular destination for breaking

76
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,500
news and it's real time, Nature 
has made it an essential tool 

77
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:15,800
for journalists activists and 
politicians Twitter's decision 

78
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,500
to incorporate more video 
content. 

79
00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:20,899
And monetization options could 
have significant implications 

80
00:04:20,899 --> 00:04:24,000
for the future of the platform 
and the company has struggled to

81
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,900
grow its user base and revenue 
and particularly in. 

82
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:29,600
Paris into other social media 
platforms, like Facebook and 

83
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,700
Instagram. 
However, by creating a more 

84
00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:35,100
video, Focus platform Twitter 
could attract a broader audience

85
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,300
and new creators who prioritize 
video content. 

86
00:04:38,900 --> 00:04:41,400
Now moreover Twitter's, new 
monetization options could 

87
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,400
provide significant Revenue 
opportunities for creators. 

88
00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:49,300
Now, YouTube has been the place 
to go, and if Twitter makes the 

89
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:52,500
decision to offer a higher 
Revenue split than YouTube, it 

90
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:55,900
could attract more high-profile 
creators and they could jump 

91
00:04:55,900 --> 00:04:58,900
ship from you. 
YouTube to just using Twitter as

92
00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:01,600
their platform of choice. 
Now, it's worth noting that 

93
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,700
Twitter's more towards move 
towards video content and 

94
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:08,700
monetization options. 
May also, attract the attention 

95
00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:11,400
of regulators, social media 
platforms, like YouTube and 

96
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,100
Facebook have come under 
scrutiny in recent years, for 

97
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:17,800
the handling of user data and 
advertising practices and 

98
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,800
Twitter will need to ensure that
its video content advertising 

99
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,800
practices are transparent and 
ethical to avoid similar 

100
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,000
scrutiny. 
Now Twitter's move towards video

101
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:30,200
10 in monetization is an 
exciting development for the 

102
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,000
platform. 
Now, addition to 4K video 

103
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:35,700

monetization options. 

104
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:39,000

destination for multimedia.
