Twitter was all about sudden-bursts of posts and comments, and being the powerful megaphone for politicians and celebrities.
This time, things stepped up a bit, when Elon Musk, who rebranded Twitter to X, teased people of a feature that allows livestreaming of videos. The billionaire made the first live video while in a meeting, while curling a dumbbell.
"This is me, curling a 45," he said in the viral video, referring to its weight in pounds.
Through the 53 seconds clip, Musk didn't disclose any information of this upcoming feature.
He only explained it in another tweet, where he shared about the live video feature being live.
According to Musk, users can stream live clips using the blue colored camera icon.

"Live video now works reasonably well," Musk posted on X along with the image of the camera icon.
"Just tap the button that looks like a camera when you post."
A day before, Musk announced another feature that now allows verified users to download videos from the platform, if the content creators who post them allows to do so.
Initially, the feature is quite buggy and unreliable.
Replying on one of the comments, Musk said that the feature shall require further refinement.

The announcement came about a day after Musk announced another new feature for X that lets users download videos.
However, only 'X Blue' users can use this feature, and can also only do so with videos from content creators who allow the videos to be downloaded.
Since acquiring Twitter, Musk has been making many changes and tweaks to the company.
After calling himself the "Chief Twit," he also announced a new CEO to replace him, so he can take up he role of product and engineering chief, he also cut down the number of Twitter staff.
And in the process of renaming Twitter to X, Musk also changed the minimalistic blue bird logo to a minimal X, along with its name and domain address.
He even "stole" some handles to ensure that happens.
From monetizing the verification checkmark to then allowing users to hide it, everything is part of Musk's efforts to make X "the everything app."
