Yesterday, Baidu provided video sharing functions for its community product Tieba. The bar owner and "video editor" will have the authority to upload and edit videos. This is another major move by Baidu Tieba after opening picture uploading,名人堂 functions, to create an open, user co-built community platform.

Currently, Baidu has opened video functions for more than ten thousand Tiebas in the Tieba directory. Each Tieba has 20G of video storage space, and the maximum allowable capacity for a single video file is 200M, far exceeding the storage capacity of about 1G offered by other video sharing websites.
