X: Videos have been the priority of Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) for a while now. In that endeavour, the company regularly pushes updates to improve the experience further. Soon after announcing the rolling out of audio and video calling and enhancements for live streams, the company will now release the option to download videos from the DMs section.

While X owner Elon Musk confirmed the update on the microblogging platform, he did not clearly state whether it will be available to free users or just be limited to paying accounts. Replying to an X user (@WholeMarsBlog), the Tesla CEO shared that the feature to let users download videos from DMs will arrive soon.

Responding to Whole Mars Catalog's post - "Can we please have an option to download videos from DMs," Musk said it is "Coming soon". Plus, the X owner earlier shared that the platform is working to bring X as a streaming app on gaming consoles such as Sony PlayStations.

"Any chance we can get @X onto gaming consoles as a streaming app?" @AlexJonesMW3 posted on the platform. Replying to this, Musk said: "Yup, we're working on it". Moreover, Jonah Katz, Senior Software Engineer at X, said the platform is working to improve the watching experience on the platform and asked for suggestions and ideas on X. To this, Musk replied: "Big improvements already and more to come."

Meanwhile, speaking of other updates around X, the Elon Musk platform failed to block California's law on content moderation that mandates social media firms to disclose their content moderation mechanisms publicly, according to Reuters.

The platform sued California to revoke the law, claiming it violates the free speech rights enshrined in the US and the state's constitution. This law mandates the firm to issue semiannual reports dealing with content moderation practices, data on objectionable posts and the redressal protocol.

Dismissing the microblogging firm's request, US District Judge William Shubb said: "While the reporting requirement does appear to place a substantial compliance burden on social media companies, it does not appear that the requirement is unjustified or unduly burdensome within the context of First Amendment law."
