Update #12!! Video upload works!!

It only works for short videos though! We’re working on our video compression 🫡

Android users - I’m hopeful that Google play will approve us soon! Thank you for your patience!!

So thankful for all of you 🥰

I don’t have the upload option on my end, does anyone else have this issue?

gilly6.bsky.social•91 days ago

Maybe try closing skylight and opening it from the test flight app

untruthful.bsky.social•91 days ago

Go to the TestFlight app and you can update the app there.

brokemoose.bsky.social•91 days ago

Thanks I needed to update it, it works now, thank you very much :)

chronosensitivity.bsky.social•91 days ago

One question: there’s a small delay to start the video when scrolling. Is this inherent to Bluesky or is it something we could theoretically fix?

softmax.bsky.social•91 days ago

How many people are testing the app?

justlois.bsky.social•91 days ago

I get a red X across my videos whenever I attempt to upload them. They don’t upload.

lynch.bsky.social•91 days ago

Just tested and it is working - well it worked, then crashed (I did the report) then worked again... that is kinda the theme for 2025.

flightdude84.bsky.social•91 days ago

I'd like to be beta tester! Where can I find the invite?

kikicharles.bsky.social•91 days ago

Go to the pinned post

jonwesleyhuff.bsky.social•90 days ago

Got the dreaded red X. What's worse, there doesn't seem to be any way to interact with it to delete it?

panda-news.bsky.social•91 days ago

Patiently waiting jealous of all those iPhone users lol nah not really... You couldn't pay me to have an iPhone 🤣🤣. Looks great so far Tori! Are there going to be plans of an in-app video editor?

coreymorgan.bsky.social•91 days ago

It’s really slick in my opening 10 minutes of use.

cynsjrl.bsky.social•90 days ago

Waiting patiently. What is the time limit on skylight videos?

maekagaming.com•92 days ago

*waits patiently for Android beta*

alphacodexx197.bsky.social•91 days ago

My main device is an iPhone but I’m also waiting on the Android beta because I have a Motorola that I plan to use to test the Android version while I am testing iOS.

maekagaming.com•91 days ago

Yeah no iPhone here. Just Android so I gotta wait. 😆

jonny2x4.bsky.social•90 days ago

Looking forward to that Android beta!

zohainstyle.bsky.social•90 days ago

I had it and started using it but got logged out haven’t been able to log back in. Please help

glitchy-bitchy.bsky.social•91 days ago

are we eventually going to get it out on browser too? like... chromebooks and laptops and whatnot? my phone is being funky rn so idk about installing more stuff and tbh i'm just curious.

uhitswhit.bsky.social•91 days ago

When I post:

sweetsandloves.bsky.social•90 days ago

I got the same thing trying to upload a video also.

asesinatheorca.vtubers.social•89 days ago

Will there be a way to schedule content? For the creators who like creating content but can't upload every day, it's something that I enjoy from YT shorts and TikTok since. Not sure if others mirror my thoughts, but it just makes it easier to still create even if I'm stuck at work.

durrell.bsky.social•91 days ago

Any update for Android soon?

alphacodexx197.bsky.social•91 days ago

Google still has to approve it according to one of their previous updates. Other than that, should hopefully be soon. I guess Google drags their heels in when it comes to apps (weird I thought that iOS would have been the roadblock but I guess I learn new things about app development on the daily)

alphacodexx197.bsky.social•91 days ago

I’m not a developer or anything like that, also just a beta tester for them but still wanted to help out with providing information.

bookdragon93.bsky.social•91 days ago

Omg this is coming along so way

stryderknight.bsky.social•90 days ago

Getting the red x when trying to upload. Trying different length videos (all 1min or less), with and without captions, getting consistent X each time

brooksayola.bsky.social•87 days ago

Until there is a solution, what should we do about editing music into our videos?

danixdarling.bsky.social•91 days ago

It’s getting better by the day!

tamisartcreations.bsky.social•91 days ago

I don’t have that option? Is there something I need to do? I’m a beta tester

palmystree.com•91 days ago

I don’t either 🤔

tamisartcreations.bsky.social•91 days ago

If you go to TestFlight and click it you will get an update and now I have the upload option.

dmsmoreira.bsky.social•90 days ago

Asks for a code

palmystree.com•91 days ago

thanks!

skratsx.bsky.social•91 days ago

It's working great so far!

apostrophe-period.com•91 days ago

I uploaded a video with no issues, but wondering if uploaded videos will always cross-post to Bluesky (and vice-versa)

saschab.bsky.social•91 days ago

iOS 🤮

amolinadesigns.bsky.social•91 days ago

tonytonevega.xyz•91 days ago

I'm overly excited to see it. But please, make sure to include two countdown timers... one to show when video recording will start and the other to show how many seconds we have before the recording time is up. Thank you so much. 👍

bzzztheworld.bsky.social•91 days ago

Been watching videos. Great job!

cchappy.bsky.social•89 days ago

Guess you need a ‘invite’ code at this time?

itsjoe.bsky.social•91 days ago

Is the native upload not functional quite yet?

davisino94.bsky.social•91 days ago

I cannot join because there is still no option for the 2AF… 🥺

skylight.social•91 days ago

Forgot to mention this!! We fixed this and now 2FA does work!

Let us know if it works for you! Will do a quick update today on that!

davisino94.bsky.social•91 days ago

Still cannot access. It keeps asking me for the 2FA, but once I enter it, the screen stays the same and nothing happens.

librarianryan.bsky.social•89 days ago

Is there still iOS spots open? And if so where is the link?

kikicharles.bsky.social•91 days ago

Please give us the option on whether we want the videos posted on BlueSky when we upload them.

bluegirlinfloriduh.bsky.social•91 days ago

@buildwithtori.com what does it mean if you see a red X on a video I tried to upload. What is the maximum length?

theoneapollo.bsky.social•91 days ago

It definitely means upload failed, the question is why that happened or why there is an option to retry… however, this is looking like a really solid foundation for a replacement Tik-censor-Tok.

kiteflow.bsky.social•91 days ago

Max video length is 1 minute for blue sky which is where it is publishing to.

bluegirlinfloriduh.bsky.social•91 days ago

Ok thanks. I just tried with 59 seconds and had the same issue. I’ll try to cut it down shorter.

sweetsandloves.bsky.social•90 days ago

I tried one with 20 seconds and still got the X

butt3rcup.bsky.social•91 days ago

What about Android beta??? 👀😤

thebrettclark.bsky.social•91 days ago

Yay. I’m in. I’ll try to post something later tonight.

chrisiacono.bsky.social•91 days ago

I got the latest iOS update and was able to post a video. I was trying to tag you in the description, but that feature doesn’t seem to be available yet.

bambastic.bsky.social•91 days ago

Posted my first video 😊

leonyxd.bsky.social•90 days ago

We need the Android beta 😭.

alphacodexx197.bsky.social•90 days ago

Uploaded a video I made earlier that was 8 seconds and it was pretty good. Aspect ratio was off on the video but that was my fault as I didn’t know how to use iMovie (former android convert here, been using iOS for about little over a year)

alphacodexx197.bsky.social•91 days ago

Just letting you know, there's a pretty substantial bug that results in the app crashing whenever you try to open the comments on video if there are over 100 comments on the video. It tries to open them but gives up and closes the app. It's been reported but just so you know.

thegirlwhowillbe.bsky.social•91 days ago

So the video I shared here shows up there, but I don’t see how I can post to the skylight app at all. I just have a FYP area and my profile

mdcheli79.bsky.social•90 days ago

Very excited for the release!!! Anxiously waiting.

pattycakeskaiju.bsky.social•90 days ago

Tried uploading a video and it seems to have failed. A big ❌ across it and it can’t be watched or deleted.

mamanlouisville.bsky.social•91 days ago

It’s Peanut Butter Jelly Time!

dustint2.bsky.social•91 days ago

Video posting still isn’t working

liv-oc.bsky.social•90 days ago

@debutationtv.bsky.social

johnax.com•91 days ago

I sent some feedback. I cant login 🥺

heyitsrosalindaaa.bsky.social•91 days ago

Tried to upload a video earlier & it worked 😃 … it did take FOREVER to upload though.

sugarheadco.com•90 days ago

I have set up a separate account just for skylight - @sugarhead.bsky.social

Please put me on your beta list when Android is ready.

Keep doing what you're doing!!!
