X employee publishes test post with six attached videos

Taylor, who works on the X Developer Platform, published a post from her X account with six attached videos.

The post includes the text “test4” and Lorem ipsum placeholder text, so Taylor likely used it to test a change that expands how many videos users can attach to a post.

Under the current specification, users can attach up to four media items to a post, so users cannot attach six videos.

I checked X on the web and found that users can still attach only four media items to a single post.

That means X has only reached the testing stage for the change that would let users attach up to six videos to a post, and the company has not rolled it out to general users yet.

My analysis

X has added a video tab to its Android app and a feature on iOS that lets users react to other users’ posts with videos. The company keeps strengthening creator features centered on video.

Expanding the number of videos users can attach fits into that broader push to improve creator-focused features.

At this point, I do not know whether X plans to offer the six-video attachment feature as an official feature or when the company might release it.

I also do not know whether free users will be able to attach up to six videos, or whether X will raise the limit for media types other than video.

As a personal observation, I often see posts with four attached images, but I rarely see posts with four attached videos.

For that reason, I think more users would benefit from the ability to attach up to six images than from the ability to attach up to six videos.

I hope X shares more details on this soon.

I've been using JavaScript more than my native language since birth. I am nowhere and everywhere on the internet.

I build web apps and browser extensions in TypeScript as a web frontend programmer. I released Shadowban Scanner, a tool that detects shadowbans on X, and Restore Link Card, a tool that brings back link cards. Media outlets in Japan and abroad covered both tools. For iGEM 2023, I built the Wiki for Team Japan-United and helped the team win the Grand Prize. On my blog, I cover news about X and social media, test and troubleshoot bugs, and share frontend development insights.
