What Is a Twitter/X Video? Complete Explanation + Download Guide

A Twitter/X video is any video embedded in a tweet on the X (formerly Twitter) platform. Videos can be original uploads, reposts, or clips from live broadcasts — up to 3 hours long for Premium subscribers.

• GIFs: Animated images auto-converted to MP4 by Twitter
• Broadcast clips: Segments from Twitter Spaces or Periscope recordings

Twitter stores videos at 360p, 480p, 720p, and (for Premium accounts) 1080p. The quality served to you depends on your connection and settings.
