What Is X (Twitter) Video?

X (Twitter) video is video posted on X, the platform formerly called Twitter, shared directly in the feed.

X (Twitter) Video

X video is any clip published on X, where it plays inline as people scroll. Because the feed moves fast and many watch without sound, short videos that make their point quickly and carry captions tend to do best.

As a way to reach an audience on the platform it travels well, since a clip can spread through reposts. 

For example, you post a short captioned clip from a longer video to draw viewers on X.
