You might prefer to read (or watch) Tweets but converse about them privately. You might want to continue a public conversation privately with a smaller group, or start one based on a Tweet you saw. Many of you use Direct Messages to reach the people and brands you\u2019re only connected to on Twitter. Whatever the case may be, the ability to converse privately with groups gives you more options for how and with whom you communicate on Twitter.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\"><p>New! Use Direct Messages to speak privately with a group of up to 20 people.

You can create a group in just a few taps. When you\u2019re added to a group, you\u2019ll get a notification. If you\u2019re brand new to Direct Messages,<a href=\"https:\/\/about.twitter.com\/directmessages\">here\u2019s a good resource<\/a> to learn more. <strong>Capture, edit and share videos right from your Twitter app<\/strong> Tweets have been more than 140 characters for some time. The Twitter you experience today is rich and immersive, full of images, gifs, Vines, audio files and videos from some of the world\u2019s most recognizable figures and brands. And starting today, everyone will soon be able to seamlessly capture, edit and share videos right from the Twitter app, too. Twitter has designed its camera to be simple to use so you can capture and share life\u2019s most interesting moments as they happen. In just a few taps you can add a video to unfolding conversations, share your perspective of a live event, and show your everyday moments instantly, without ever having to leave the app. Viewing and playing videos is just as simple: videos are previewed with a thumbnail and you can play them with just one tap. <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"57854\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/2015\/01\/28\/twitter-group-direct-message-video\/twitter-video-edit\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/twitter-video-edit.jpg?fit=600%2C252&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,252\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"twitter-video-edit\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/twitter-video-edit.jpg?fit=300%2C126&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/twitter-video-edit.jpg?fit=600%2C252&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-57854\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/twitter-video-edit.jpg?resize=600%2C252\" alt=\"twitter-video-edit\" width=\"600\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/twitter-video-edit.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/twitter-video-edit.jpg?resize=300%2C126&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/> Twitter\u2019s unique mobile video camera and inline editing experience lets you capture and share videos up to 30 seconds in an instant.
