*Sigh* Remember when YouTube used to show us video dislikes so we could immediately click off useless videos like this? Those were the days...

This is weak stuff. I thought this will be how to post it without people needing to click on a link.

I was angry until I read the comments, now I'm glad I came. It's a party in here.

So there is no way for the video to play, automatically, on Twitter? The post is just going to be the blue link?

That is… dumb.

So you can't upload a clip or video on X to where it'll play without having to leave the site?

I never get anything but a url posting to X & the same when it was twitter so I don’t know how you’re getting it & why I watch your video in the first place!

X diminishes visibility if you share a link that takes you to another site. X wants you to stay on platform to view.

Reported as misinformation! Do better in future and restrain from click bait and ‘populate’ your content with correct info!

Trevor, how do we EMBED a youtube link so it autoplays on X?!

[DonWeLLozzo]

You just told me how to share a link on X, not how to embed a video from YT on X. Amazing, 10/10 tutorial for a complex task...🙃

*Does anyone know how to solve the issue below*

When you are already in Twitter/X, and replying to someone. Coming out of the app, going to YouTube, copying the link & then going back to Twitter/X & pasting it into your tweet *doesn’t* bring up a preview?

Thanks in advance

How do you post a music video where you don’t have to click the link to YouTube?

I wish I read the comments before wasting my time

[SonOfGodzilla]

i swear ppl are so stupid, THIS IS NOT EMBEDDING.

[terrihardin]

🆘 Can anyone here tell me how to EMBED YT video on X using android?

(Not interested in sharing link/thumbnail...)

Holy shit this wins the most useless video since the inception of videography.

Engagement farming. Thoroughly useless restatement of obvious features.
