Sorry, viewing this new tweet does not work perfectly with all users, you need to open the media file to see that there is a GIF and video next to the photo. Schmid noted that the platform is still coming up with different ways to display these “carousels” in different types of channels:

After this news became known, the representative twitter Techcrunch told Techcrunch that the social network is “testing a new feature with select accounts for a limited time that will allow people to mix up to four media assets in a single tweet, regardless of format.” We see people having more visual conversations on Twitter and using images, GIFs and videos to make those conversations more immersive.”

Currently twitter intends to see how this novelty will be used by different types of users, allowing them to create content with fewer visual restrictions. Like any novelty in the social network, this resource is released gradually for a limited number of people in some regions.
