Twitter users no longer have to tap videos or animated media for them to play. On June 16, 2015, the social messaging site announced all native videos, Vines, and GIFs would auto-play when they appear in a user’s Twitter feed.
Twitter announced its native video initiative in late 2014, with an official video capture feature added to the Twitter app in early 2015. Users could use the app to film their own 30-second clips and upload them to Twitter. However, these clips (along with brand video ads, GIFs, and Vines) only played when a user tapped them.
Now, native Twitter videos, along with Vines and GIFs, will auto-play without sound on users’ feeds. Tapping the video once results in the sound turning on and the video expanding into a larger format. Videos viewed in landscape format on mobile devices will also automatically turn on the sound and expand to fit the entire screen.

Just days before a strike was set to start, management and the union representing healthcare workers at the Motion Picture and Television Fund’s hospital and facilities today agreed to step back from the brink. Instead of picket lines going up at the Mptf’s Wasserman Camus hospital in Woodlands Hills and other venues on Monday, the two sides will now have a cooling off period of two months and enter into new talks. The Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West has also consented to pull back on the unfair labor practices charges it brought against the Mptf earlier today in a complaint to the National Labor Relations Board. The Seiu-uhw represents around 500 nurses, their aides, medical-records workers and other caregivers at Mptf facilities.
