YouTube has established itself as the leading platform for online video content, boasting an impressive user base of 2.68 billion monthly active users worldwide as of May 2023, with a sizeable number accessing the platform on its TV app.

But, the landscape may soon witness a potential challenge to YouTube's reign as Elon Musk hints at a Twitter video app that aims to offer a similar experience. In response to a user's request for a Twitter video app for Smart TVs, Musk cryptically responded with, "It's coming."

Additionally, [newly appointed CEO Linda Yaccarino](https://www.techloy.com/twitter-announces-new-ceo/) hinted at Twitter's plans to focus on video in an investor presentation last Thursday, where one slide of the presentation said that vertical video accounted for more than 10% of time spent on Twitter, per *Reuters*.

This development follows Twitter's recent expansion of its video capabilities, allowing users to upload videos up to 2 hours in length. Musk also teased additional features such as the ability to watch videos while scrolling through the app and the inclusion of 15-second forward and backwards seek buttons.

Twitter's renewed focus on video content, including potential partnerships with political figures, entertainment figures, and news publishers, indicates a strategic effort to revitalize the platform's business beyond digital advertising.

But while Musk's announcement has sparked excitement among some users, can Twitter, traditionally a microblogging platform with a 450 million user base challenge YouTube's long-standing dominance in the video streaming space with this new feature addition?
