X is launching its own YouTube-like video streaming app, coming to Samsung TVs
Over the past few years, video streaming providers have consolidated following a ten-year boom in cord-cutting that began in 2007. There will be one new video streaming service available soon, though. Long-form video viewing will soon be possible with the release of an app from X.
X (Twitter) intends to release a video streaming app for Fire TV from Amazon and Samsung TVs
Elon Musk has disclosed that X will soon launch a video streaming service. Numerous rumors (including Forbes) state that Samsung TVs and Amazon’s Fire TV platform will host the launch of this future service. It is expected to be a long-form video streaming service that looks and feels like YouTube, facilitating the viewing of long-form content on a larger screen.
Elon Musk has been working to turn Twitter into a “everything app” ever since he bought the company. The company has already made available the capacity to conduct and receive voice and video chats in addition to posting long-form written content (a feature known as Articles). The X team stated that 8 out of 10 user sessions involved watching videos and that the platform is focused mostly on videos in a blog post published earlier this year.
In the future, Elon Musk also hopes to provide peer-to-peer payment services to X. It makes logical to release X’s video streaming software on Samsung TVs running Tizen OS, as Samsung is the largest TV brand in the world.
