In this blog post, I’ll reveal some of the top Twitter/X tools that have transformed how I craft engaging and creative posts. These tools have been game-changers for managing the @KZG_AU account and my personal account @mynameistito. Whether you’re looking to spice up your tweets or streamline your social media workflow, this guide has got you covered.

“Embedding Videos in Tweets”

Enhance your tweets and comments with captivating video content! Embedding videos is easy and adds a dynamic touch to your posts. Follow these simple steps to get started:

  1. Locate the Video Source on X
    • Find the Video you want to embed on X. For example, lets use this tweet from @ShouldHaveCat
  2. Copy the Video URL
    • Copy the URL of the tweet containing the Video. It should look like this:
    https://x.com/ShouldHaveCat/status/1724513823816597824
  1. Modify the URL for Embedding
    • Append “/video/1” to the end of the URL. Your modified URL should look like this:
   https://x.com/ShouldHaveCat/status/1724513823816597824/video/1
  1. Paste the Modified URL into Your Post or Comment
  • Finally, paste the new URL into your tweet or comment. The video will be embedded and ready for your audience to view.

By following these steps, you can easily embed vidos in your tweets and comments, making your social media posts more interactive and engaging.
