Reddit Launches Video Comments for All Users, Expanding Replies Beyond Text, Images and GIFs

Summary
Thursday's rollout lets any Reddit user upload or record a short-form video reply directly in comment threads across communities and subreddits.
Reddit said the feature is meant to make conversations more immersive and authentic, adding a video icon beside existing image and GIF options in the comment box.
Video comments will not autoplay, and Reddit's safety systems will review them before posting; only public, suitable-for-work communities can use the feature.
The launch extends a format Reddit had already tested, including a video AMA with Mel C. two months ago, and could broaden everything from direct responses to meme-style replies.
