Video-sharing platform TikTok has started testing a new landscape mode with select users around the world.
Some experts say the feature will help it directly compete with rival video platforms like YouTube.
Viral videos filmed in portrait mode have helped make TikTok the world's fastest-growing social media app.
However, there have been calls in countries such as the US and Australia to ban it over allegations of national security threats.
The Chinese-owned platform previously only allowed videos that were three minutes in length or shorter.
"TikTok has been moving into YouTube territory for some time now, with the longer version 10-minute videos, and consistently outranks YouTube among a younger demographic.
"The goal here seems to be to appeal to a more mature audience of the type that uses YouTube for informational and learning videos, where a full-screen mode would be more desirable."
"Shorts have become a big part of YouTube's recent engagement, and TikTok must be worried about creators turning to YouTube for at least part of their content,"
YouTube and TikTok will continue to thrive. "YouTube has significantly higher production values and takes users longer to align with those production aesthetics.
TikTok will remain the go-to out-of-pocket film production platform for shorter and arguably more engaging content production.
"TikTok is the most popular app among young people globally, and has been downloaded almost four billion times. The app has come under intense scrutiny in several countries.
This week US lawmakers proposed a ban on TikTok. The bill is the latest move in the US against the platform, which is owned by Chinese technology giant ByteDance.
Calls to ban TikTok have also surfaced in countries such as Australia, while Taiwan recently moved to ban it from public devices. India blocked it in 2020 amid a military dispute.
