Twitter provides a quick and easy way for you to share different types of content and media, particularly videos. You can feature videos together with your tweets to make these more engaging and capture audiences more.

Here are some tips on how to share a video on the microblogging social media site.

1. Linking to video. The Twitter website is fully integrated with a lot of video hosting websites. YouTube and Vimeo are the most common so you can conveniently link to these and include your selected videos in your tweets.

2. Go to YouTube or Vimeo then play the video you wish to share on Twitter. Copy the link to the video then paste it directly on the Tweet box to share and include in your feeds. The video will appear within your Tweet. Feel free to add more words as allowed.

3. Tweeting Vine videos. You can also share Vine videos through Twitter using your Vine account. Go to your Vine profile setting then go to “Social Networks”. Add your Twitter account to have the option to immediately share your Vine videos after posting or at creation. If you wish to share a Vine video after posting it, go back and click “Share” to have it appear on your post.
