In a bold move that puts it in direct competition with Google's YouTube, Elon Musk has confirmed the launch of a new streaming service by X platform. This service will enable viewers to enjoy extended video content comfortably on their smart TV screens.
The company is set to roll out a TV application compatible with Amazon and Samsung smart TVs, with Musk indicating that its release is imminent. "We just want people to be able to watch long videos in comfort on their big screen TV," Musk expressed on X.
Further enhancing accessibility, Musk highlighted the capability to utilize Apple AirPlay for streaming videos from smartphones to TVs.
Commenting on this development, one of Musk's followers emphasized the strategic nature of X's move, recognizing it as a step toward diversification within the dynamic digital content landscape. "It will be intriguing to see how this foray into video streaming will impact the larger ecosystem of online media consumption. Exciting times ahead," the user shared.
Musk envisions the X platform evolving into an "everything app," expanding its offerings beyond smart TVs to include video games, podcasts, and extensive written content.
Challenging traditional media formats, X recently introduced 'Articles,' providing a new avenue for sharing long-form written content on the platform. Premium users subscribing to X services can now publish articles featuring stylized text, embedded multimedia, and various formatting options including headings, sub-headings, and lists.
