Supporting artists’ self-expression

Twitter is constantly exploring for innovative and fun ways to support creators’ increased visibility and sharing. Creators can express themselves more fully and find more methods to tell their stories when they combine many visual mediums in a single Tweet.

“Really loving this new tool here on Twitter. It has opened up a whole new world of opportunity to share my work & the behind the scenes. Excited to see how creatives can capitalize on this feature and share more of their process moving forward. Stoked to see Twitter caring about creatives and how they can share their work through this medium.”, @JakeChams

It goes along with the launch of two new video products that make it simpler than ever for people to locate and watch what’s happening on Twitter, full-screen videos and a new video carousel in the Explore tab.
