Twitter has boosted its multimedia credentials enabling users to shoot and edit video within the app.

The feature, launched today (Thursday 11 June) was made available to iPhone and Android smartphone owners.

The social network said: “With video on Twitter, you can capture and share life’s meaningful moments - from your perspective.

“Now it’s simple to shoot clips, make cuts, and share your world in vivid, moving detail. Download the app to get started.”

Ultimately, by making it easier to capture and edit footage, Twitter moves a step closer to its goals of becoming a video aggregator on par with YouTube and Facebook.
