By embedding a tweet from some influential person on your website or blog, you can not only attract visitors but also offer them a shortcut to view the photos and videos right there. That way, readers or viewers don’t have to visit the person’s Twitter account. They get all the required information in one single place. Here’s how you can quickly grab a Tweet and embed it on your website or blog.
Embedding a tweet on your website without retweeting it
The good part about embedding a tweet on your blog or a website is that if the embedded tweet contains a reply, its parent Tweet gets displayed automatically above the reply. So, clearly, you don’t lose track of the conversation and can continue it for an extended period. Also, a permalink is available for both Tweets to make it easier for your to reply.
- Click the More menu button located within the Tweet.
- Select the Embed Tweet option.
- Set customization options for embedded tweets on publish.twitter.com
- Click the Copy Code button.
- Paste the code into your blog or website.
What does embed tweet mean?
An embedded Tweet is a Tweet in itself that contains media contents such as photos, videos, or texts. It can be added to a post or a page by pasting the Tweet URL. This makes it easier for a visitor to follow, retweet, or click on a link in an embedded tweet without ever having to leave your site.
How to embed a Tweet on your website or blog
Please note that tweets can be embedded only via twitter.com. The mobile application currently does not support this capability.
Launch Twitter.com. Enter your information (email ID and password) to login.
Go to the desired tweet you would like to embed on your blog or website.
Just adjacent to the tweet, you will find the More menu. Click it.
From the list of options displayed under the menu, select Embed Tweet.
Once you select the option, you will be directed to the publish.twitter.com page.
If the Tweet is a reply to another Tweet, you can check Hide Conversation to hide the original Tweet. This option is visible under the Would you like to limit context in this Tweet heading.
If you would like to change the way the embedded Twitter appears, click the Set customization options link and make the necessary changes. For example, you can switch to Dark mode from light mode.
Hit the Update button to confirm the changes.
Now, once you are satisfied with the appearance of your embedded Tweet, copy the code provided by clicking the Copy Code button.
You should see a confirmation message as shown in the image above.
