Twitter Users Can Now Create Real-Time Sports Highlights

Imagine Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Steph Curry dribbling down the court in an NBA Finals game, dodging a Cavaliers guard and shooting as the clock drains to zero. The buzzer blares and the Warriors win. You, a Twitter user watching the game via livestream, feel compelled to share this exact moment in video form as it happens.

Now you can.

Earlier this year, Twitter rolled out a real-time video clipping tool that gives users the ability to highlight particular parts of longer, live videos. With Timestamps, users are able to draw attention to a specific moment in a live video when sharing it via tweet by sliding back to the exact time they want their audience to begin watching.
