The new invitation-only option will let creators use longer-form video to tell a story. Pinterest ( NYSE:PINS ) announced today that it will begin allowing select content creators to post video, voice-overs, and full-screen photos (including overlaid text) in a bid to attract more social media influencers and gain traction with users.

David Temple, Pinterest's head of content, creator and homefeed product, explained the difference between the stories feature on other social media websites and what will appear on Pinterest: "Story features on other platforms are designed to show you what people are doing. Story Pins are designed to show you how people are trying new ideas and new products. That means the features and intent are dramatically different."

Beyond just posting longer-form content, creators will also be able to engage with their community and view video analytics to see how such content is performing. The functionality will be available on mobile devices with iOS and Android, as well as on PCs, but iPhone users will be able to shoot video and edit it right on the phone.

Pinterest began working on Story Pins last year, and the tech stock seeks to define the content that will be showcased as inspirational and helpful to others, as opposed to the sort of self-centered stories on other platforms.

Streaming video platform Roku (ROKU) is likely to cut a deal soon to carry HBO Max now that it has reached an agreement to add Peacock to its lineup, a Wall Street analyst said Monday. Roku stock surged to a record high on Monday on news of its Peacock deal.

Roku and Peacock, a unit of Comcast (CMCSA)-owned NBCUniversal, announced Monday that the Peacock app is now available on the Roku platform. The news comes two months after Peacock debuted on other platforms. Roku and Peacock reached their agreement late Friday. Roku gets two primary benefits from the Peacock carriage deal, Rosenblatt Securities analyst Mark Zgutowicz said in a note to clients. First, Roku will share in advertising revenue from Peacock's ad-supported service tiers. Second, the deal will give Roku leverage in its negotiations with AT&T's (T) WarnerMedia to carry its HBO Max service.

"We expect an HBO Max deal inked (prior to) the onset of holiday season (TV) sales," Zgutowicz said. He reiterated his buy rating on Roku stock with a price target of 195.
