GoKawiilBluesky raises video upload limit to 10 minutes
Bluesky announced it is extending its maximum video length from three minutes to 10 minutes, alongside a new 300MB file size cap and faster upload speeds of 2x-3x. The change also benefits third-party apps built on the AT Protocol, like Bluescreen, Reelo and Skylight, which will inherit the same longer video capability.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The upgrade puts Bluesky on par with TikTok's default video length and signals an effort to compete with rivals like Threads and X in video content, a key driver of engagement. It comes as Bluesky's active user base has fallen more than 25% year-over-year, suggesting the company is betting on richer media features to reverse its decline.
- Bluesky's video limit jumps from 3 to 10 minutes, matching TikTok's default cap.
- Max file size rises to 300MB with 2x-3x faster uploads.
- AT Protocol apps like Bluescreen, Reelo and Skylight will also support longer videos.
