FollowTwitter has undergone a lot of changes since Elon Musk took onboard, including rebranding and doing rid of blue checkmarks. The microblogging service is now rolling out a new function that will let users broadcast movies.
Elon Musk released a picture of a camera icon along with the statement, "Live video now functions quite well. When posting, simply press the button that resembles a camera."
Elon Musk also broadcast live from his own account, @ElonMusk, on X. He can be seen in the video laughingly joking about whether or not the livestream is functioning before showing his coworkers and performing bicep exercises with a 45-pound weight. The livestream has received an astounding 12.1 million views.
How to use the live video function is as follows:
- From the composer tab, click the camera icon.
- Click the "live" button.
- Add your location (if applicable) and complete the choice description in tweet.
- To go live, tap.
- Once you go live, your broadcast will be viewable on both your profile and the timelines of your followers.
- Click the 'stop' button in the upper left to halt the live video.
While most new features on the platform are restricted for X Blue members, Musk and his colleagues have not specified when the function would be made accessible to the general public on X.
