We’ve updated Micro.blog today with a big feature: video upload to your microblog. The iOS and macOS apps — as well as our iOS app for photos, Sunlit — have all been updated to support video.
Video upload and storage is based on our podcast hosting plan. If you’d like to post video, you can learn more and upgrade here. Just like podcasts, video hosting is designed for short videos, from a few seconds to 1-2 minutes. Each video should be 45 MB or less, but there’s no limit on the number of videos you can upload, and videos are stored at your own domain name.
We are very excited about this and can’t wait to see how people use it. Now that we have this foundation for video, I’m looking forward to expanding it based on feedback. I think there’s a lot we can do. (There were also a couple of last-minute bugs with playback on iOS… We’ll get those fixed soon.)
Jan Luca Siewert Nice. I don't have much use for videos myself but I am looking forward to great videos in my timeline!
Smokey Ardisson Excited to see this play out. Also, impressed by your ability and daring to launch a new feature while on the road! ;-)
Chris Hanson Wow! Also, congratulations on shipping!
Chris Hanson I’d love to hear how this works behind the scenes, are you just serving the files or are you putting them behind some sort of streaming server? (Like the old QuickTime/Darwin Streaming Server…)
Eddie Hinkle Wow, very cool!! Does this mean video html tags are now supported from external blogs as well?
skoo.bz This is great! Ive been looking to an alternative to posting on YouTube.
Ron Guest A great additiona, congrats! Will the videos be included when doing an export from the site?

Chris Handy Wow! very cool. How is video handles when posts are syndicated?
Chris Handy @handy it's a little awkward when there's a lack of context :) on the twitter post for this video I wonder if it should add a #video and link to the post in those cases?
Manton Reece @handy Agreed, I plan to improve this soon. I think I'll make it link back to your video (or the blog post).
Manton Reece @EddieHinkle Yes, video tags are now allowed in the timeline.

Simon Woods Brilliant! Congrats on shipping.
Manton Reece @ronguest Yes, videos are included in the export too. Photos, videos, podcasts, and any other uploaded files should be included.
Manton Reece @sku_b Great, let me know if you have any questions! I think it'll be nice for those short clips that I sometimes want to post along with photos, but for which YouTube seems wrong or too disconnected from my blog.
Manton Reece @eschaton Thanks! It's pretty low-tech right now. Just serving the files.
skoo.bz One curiosity I have is how videos from here interact with crossposting. What happens when, for example, a video posts cross-posts to Twitter?
Manton Reece @sku_b I'm going to be improving that over the next 1-2 days. Right now it doesn't include the video... I think it should link back if there's video or audio.
