How to Embed a Twitter Video on Tumblr Like a Pro
Ah, the wonder of social media content! You found a Twitter video that’s just too hilarious or profound to keep to yourself, and now you want to splash it across your Tumblr like a flamingo in a sea of seagulls. So, can you embed a Twitter video on Tumblr? Let’s dive into the not-so-deep end and explore this juicy topic!
Yes, you can embed Twitter videos on Tumblr; however, there’s a slight catch. If you want the world to bask in the glory of those 280 characters accompanied by fabulous visuals, you might need to play around with the URL a little. The golden rule? Change that pesky “x” back to “twitter.” So instead of this:
‘’
You’ll want to switch it to:
‘’
Now you’re in business! It’s as easy as flipping a pancake – just remember to use your non-stick thoughts!
But Wait, There’s More!
For those advanced users, you can also use the magic of the <iframe> tag. Just try this:

Ta-da! You’ve got an embedded video hot enough to make your followers question their life choices. However, be warned: some private Twitter accounts consider embedding akin to snooping on their personal diary. So, if the video’s from a locked account, you’re sadly out of luck!
For the keen-eyed users who catch themselves endlessly scrolling through Twitter, there are ways around this madness. Websites like twdown.net simplify downloading public videos for your Tumblr needs. You toss the tweet URL in there, and like magic, you get a downloadable file you can sprinkle over your blog like confetti!
But let’s be real here — *legalities* come into play. Downloading videos isn’t always smooth sailing. According to CNET, while downloading is generally legal, respecting creator rights is a must. So, don’t go using that video to claim you’re the next Scorsese.
Also, if Twitter’s holding onto its video files like a new crush holds onto their phone, consider using programs like Any Video Converter, which downloads bountifully and converts pesky formats along the way. Now that’s some nifty technology we can appreciate!
At the end of the day, remember to give credit where credit is due. Source those tweets properly, and don’t be a ghost in the credits!
