Bluesky Begins Rolling Out New Video Feed

With the tumultuous last few days TikTok has experienced, Bluesky has launched its own video feed within the mobile app. Users are now slowly able to start experiencing a TikTok-like feed within the social app.

Within the past day, Bluesky began launching its own customizable feed specifically for video. “We had to get in on the video action too,” the company said online. This new dedicated tab offers a TikTok-style video feed of videos that users can scroll through. The beauty of this new initiative is how customizable the experience is.

As explained by Bluesky, once the feature is accessible, users can create targeted feeds to pull content from specific hashtags. This includes examples from Bluesky such as #BookSky, which will show relevant videos pertaining to books and reading. “Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not,” the company’s post reads. “Bluesky is yours to customize.”

In order to find the new feed, users must navigate to the search tab and scroll down through to ‘Trending’. Once the feature is accessible, you’ll see a new video feed. This timeline of videos will highlight clips that are trending on Bluesky. However, being able to swipe through continuous videos is only available to custom feeds.

This new feature comes off the heels of TikTok’s shortlived ban in the US. As the Supreme Court agreed to uphold a law to ban TikTok in the country, it was rather shortlived. It wasn’t 24 hours before TikTok began coming back online across the country, citing President Donald Trump’s involvement in making it happen.

However, despite TikTok now becoming available to US users once again, other companies are bracing for change. On Monday, Meta announced it is launching its own video editing software to rival Bytedance’s CapCut. As the future of ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, is uncertain in the US, Meta’s new Edits app will launch on iOS next month. An Android version of the app will follow later.
