Twitter is in the middle of some major changes to its platform. Just yesterday we reported on one big feature that’s currently rolling out to many users, but it looks like the social network is far from done and a new major addition has just surfaced.

Back in Novermber Twitter announced
it would be expanding its media serving capabilities in a bid to raise the interest of advertisers. Back then a native video player and video card support were announced as upcoming features but now it looks like the social network’s video ambitions go much further than that.

It look like Twitter is building its own video service, one that could eventually compete with Google’s Youtube. If you visit video.twitter.com you’ll be greeted by a prompt where you can request access to the service. But that’s not to say lots of info hasn’t already leaked about the project.
