Reddit Comments Get Visual: Video Uploads Now Possible
11 Jun
Summary
- Users can now post videos directly in comment sections.
- Feature is restricted to safe-for-work subreddits.
- Videos undergo safety checks before display on Reddit.
Reddit has introduced a new feature allowing users to embed videos directly into comment sections, expanding communication possibilities beyond text, images, and GIFs. This enables redditors to share thoughts or other content via video clips.
The video comment functionality is currently available only in public, safe-for-work subreddits that have opted to enable it. Reddit assures that all submitted video comments will pass through its safety systems prior to being displayed.
Furthermore, these video comments will not autoplay and will adhere to users' established audio settings. To utilize the feature, users can click the video icon in the comment box to record or upload a video clip. This could be particularly beneficial for "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) sessions, allowing hosts to respond more directly and promptly to user questions.
