Bluesky Video Limit Reaches 10 Minutes
The Bluesky video limit has increased from three minutes to 10 minutes. The social network announced the change on August 25. Users can now upload files up to 300MB. Bluesky also says uploads should become two to three times faster. The longer limit gives creators more room for detailed videos. It also makes Bluesky more competitive with other text-focused social platforms. Bluesky previously increased its video limit from shorter durations. Now, the platform matches TikTok’s 10-minute recording limit.
Bluesky Pushes Further Into Video
The update also benefits other apps that use the AT Protocol. These include Bluescreen, Reelo and Skylight. Meanwhile, competing platforms continue expanding their video features. Meta’s Threads currently supports videos lasting up to five minutes. X takes a different approach for video creators. Free users can upload videos lasting up to 140 seconds.
However, paying X users can upload much longer videos. The platform supports videos lasting several hours and files reaching 16GB. X also launched a video editor to encourage more original uploads. Therefore, Bluesky Faces Strong Competition For Creators And Viewers.
The video upgrade comes as Bluesky tries to strengthen user engagement. Similar web data shows the platform’s active user base fell more than 25% year-over-year through July.
Longer videos could help Bluesky attract creators seeking more flexibility. Faster uploads may also make regular video sharing easier. The platform still focuses on its decentralized social network model. However, its latest update shows a stronger push toward mainstream video content.
For users, the change offers a simple benefit. They can now share longer stories without splitting videos into multiple posts. As social platforms compete for attention, video remains an important growth tool. Bluesky’s latest move could help it regain momentum among creators and viewers.
