Twitter has a new-ish feature that lets you embed only the video from another post or tweet in a post\/tweet of your own (without quote-replying the source tweet itself). Only the video is then embedded in your post, and a small attribution appears at the bottom identifying where the video came from:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the screenshot above, Sarah is sharing a video that was originally shared by Luc, but she’s not embedding\/quoting Luc’s tweet itself \u2013 only the video. This post will cover how to do that yourself, both on the desktop\/web and in the iOS Twitter app on iPhone.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All of Twitter’s features are really just special-cased handling of URLs, and video embedding is no different. If you want to quote-reply, you are actually just posting something followed by the URL of the original tweet you want to quote. For example,<\/p>\n

Look at the size of this crowd!\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/LucAuffret\/status\/1716085946016252251<\/pre>\n
ends up with the following quote reply:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
And similarly, embedding just the video from a tweet is as simple as appending \/video\/1<\/code> to the URL of the source tweet. In this case:<\/p>\n
Look at the size of that crowd! #Lib\u00e9rezPalestine\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/LucAuffret\/status\/1716085946016252251\/video\/1<\/strong><\/pre>\n
becomes<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
On iOS, in the Twitter\/X app, this is all done for you automatically. If you just long-press on a video, you can use the “Post Video” option in the menu that pops up to have twitter copy-and-paste the full tweet URL with the \/video\/1<\/code> already appended for you:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
If the source tweet\/post contains more than one video, you can change the 1<\/code> in \/video\/1<\/code> to a different number in order to embed a video other than the first one in the post.<\/p>\n
