X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has announced some new features and enhancements for its service. The platform addressed a bug that caused the removal of older links and images, and also revealed some exclusive benefits for X Premium subscribers.
X Premium: Extended Video Options and Media Studio Access
X Premium is a subscription service that offers some exclusive benefits for users. One of the benefits is the ability to share longer videos on the platform. X Premium subscribers can now post up to 2 hours of 1080p quality or 3 hours of 720p quality videos.
Another benefit is the access to the media studio, a web-based tool that allows users to manage and edit their media content. The media studio can be accessed at http://studio.x.com by X Premium subscribers.
X Video: Enhanced Management, Control, and Playback
X has also introduced some enhancements for its video features. These include:

- AirPlay support: Users can stream videos from X to their TV using AirPlay, a wireless technology that allows them to mirror their screen.
- Picture-in-picture playback: Users can watch videos in a picture-in-picture mode, which means they can continue scrolling their timeline or using other apps while watching videos in a small window.
- Video control improvements: Users can enjoy better control over video playback with features like adjustable playback speed, double-tap for fast-forwarding, and jumping back.
- Immersive video player: The Android and iOS versions of X will provide an immersive video player experience, where users can swipe up to move on to the next video.
