Twitter launches native video support for Twitter Kit developer tool

Twitter announced the rollout of full-screen video playback for its Twitter Kit on Tuesday, November 24, Engadget reports.

That means users will be able to view videos and animated gifs within Twitter without having to pop open a new window or launch the Twitter app -- everything is handled within the running app itself.

The feature is currently only available for apps running Twitter Kit for iOS8+ but the company is also reportedly releasing an Android version "shortly."
