The company reports a 31% increase in searches for “inspirational videos” since last year. Moreover, specific searches for things like “hair dye videos” are up 276% and makeup tutorial videos up a whopping 2,063%.

The new video uploader enables users to post videos directly to Pinterest, while the new video tab on profile pages allows businesses to feature their clips in a single place. As for the analytics tool, it lets brand managers view lifetime video views and track performance over time. A valuable service, Pinterest notes, because clips on the platform don’t disappear with a feed and they resurface over time. Additionally, Pinterest says improved personalization and recommendation algorithms are beginning to drive video discovery on the platform.
