Reddit officially launched its own video hosting. Starting way back in June certain communities were able to upload videos to its page. The platform is expanding for a majority of the communities with moderators given the ability to opt-out. The company’s intentions are to provide a more seamless experience for its users. Off the heels of launching its own image hosting, uploads are limited to 1 GB and videos of 15 minutes supporting multiple formats.



During its beta, Reddit says that the most engaging videos weren’t coming from the most popular users – as you’d see on YouTube, for example – but were being leveraged by regular community members as an extension of the conversations they were already having there.
