Twitter boss Elon Musk has said that the microblogging platform will add 15-second forward and back seek buttons during video playback, as well as picture-in-picture mode for users to watch while scrolling.
Responding to a user on Twitter who asked Musk to add 15-second forward and back seek buttons, he said, “Coming next week, with picture in picture so you can see as you scroll”.

Several users on Twitter expressed their views on the development.
“Thanks. Actually this feature is what I want too and thought was lacking,” commented a user.
Another user said, “Thanks, I skip a lot of videos because of this.”
Another user wrote, “All these suggestions are pretty much “make it as good as YouTube” – I wonder how much it would cost to clone YouTube’s features, maybe now it’s cheaper to help code with AI”.
Meanwhile, Twitter is gearing up to take on YouTube as it has now allowed paid users to upload videos of up to two hours on the platform.
The microblogging platform also changed its Twitter Blue Page and announced that the video file size limit has been increased from 2GB to 8GB for paid users.
The tech billionaire had also announced voice and video chat features along with other features like encrypted DMs earlier this month.
