How to embed a tweet on a website using Twitter's embed tool
- You can embed a tweet by clicking the three-dot menu above a tweet and utilizing the "Embed Tweet" tool.
- Twitter offers a simple tool on the website that lets you embed a tweet in your website or blog.
- You can customize the appearance of a tweet and then paste the embed code in your webpage.
It's easy to share a tweet by embedding it on another website or blog page, though Twitter only gives you the tool to do this through its website - you can't do it from the mobile app. It only takes a couple of clicks and you can even customize the look of the embedded tweet.
How to embed a tweet using the Twitter website
1. Open Twitter in a web browser, log in if necessary, and find the tweet you want to embed.
2. Click the three dots at the top right of the tweet.
3. In the dropdown menu, choose "Embed Tweet."
4. The Twitter Publish page should appear. To customize the appearance of the tweet, click "set customization options" and choose any settings you like, such as color and language. If the tweet is a part of a larger conversation, you can prevent the entire thread from being embedded by checking the box for "Hide Conversation."
5. When you're done, click "Update."
6. Click "Copy Code."
7. Go to the publishing tool you use for your website or blog and paste the HTML snippet. That's it - the tweet should now be embedded, including any media, such as photos or videos, that were in the original tweet.
Be aware that if the tweet changes - such as if it's deleted or changed from public to private - the tweet will remain but any photos and videos will not display.
