For the last few months, Twitter has been testing with a select group the ability to mix different forms of media in a single Tweet so that people can share more visual context to express themselves beyond 280 characters. Starting today, Twitter is making this update available to everyone so creators like you can start mixing and matching different types of media content, whether it’s a photo, GIF and video (or two!) all in one Tweet. It’s incredibly easy: just select up to four types of media, upload them within the composer and hit publish!
