Videos Uploaded On Twitter Will Now Have Better Quality

Twitter is finally fixing its frustratingly low video quality, but the upgrade won’t apply to previously uploaded videos.

Last week, Twitter shared some great news. From now on, all videos uploaded to the platform will “appear less pixelated for a better watching experience.” The announcement, which came in a Tweet from the platform’s Support account, was welcomed by Twitter community as the poor quality of Twitter videos has frustrated users for quite some time.

App researcher Jane Manchun Wong publicly put the supposed improvement to the test. She uploaded a video and gained the desired result, as the newly added video did look better. Twitter also issued a video in reply to Wong’s test. This second video supports the improved video quality.

However, the quality in both videos is not as good as videos uploaded to other platforms like YouTube or Twitch. Also, the video quality upgrade only applies to new videos on the platform – uploaded after the announcement.
