Bluesky Expands Video Capabilities
Bluesky announced on Tuesday that it has increased the video upload limit on its platform to 10 minutes. This marks a significant jump from the previous three-minute limit, which itself was an increase from 60 seconds last year.
In addition to the extended duration, the maximum file size for video uploads has been raised to 300MB. The platform also stated that upload speeds have improved, now being 2x-3x faster than before.
Impact on AT Protocol and Competitive Landscape
This update is not exclusive to Bluesky; other applications operating on the decentralized AT Protocol, such as Bluescreen, Reelo, and Skylight, will also benefit from the ability to host longer videos.
The new 10-minute video limit places Bluesky on par with TikTok's video duration for content recorded directly with the app. Other social platforms have varying video limits, with Meta's Threads allowing five-minute videos and X offering longer uploads for paying users.
