| After clicking play, there's a prompt to log in. I had to use a video downloader service to watch it |

| You can just replace x.com with nitter.net, though their bandwidth sucks for media playback. |

| ▲ | sillysaurusx a day ago | parent [-] | | Because Twitter posts consisting of YouTube links die quickly. It’s very obvious once you have a few thousand followers. Your option is basically either upload to twitter, or put the YouTube link at the end just before a screenshot. Or both a video and a YouTube link, I suppose. If you trigger their YouTube embed, it seems like it gets penalized quite harshly. I’ve seen other people agree with the sentiment. | | |

| ▲ | teaearlgraycold a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Just don't use a Twitter post as your demo video in the GitHub readme. I don't care what someone does on Twitter - I never go there. But you can just embed a .gif or .webm in your readme or link to YouTube there. |

| ▲ | usea a day ago | parent | next [-] | | That's simply not true. | |
| ▲ | georgemcbay a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I'm in the US and twitter videos don't play for me. I see what looks like a video control when I view the post, when I click it, it throws up a modal log in/sign in dialog. No way to view the video while logged out. | | |
| ▲ | sethammons 18 hours ago | parent [-] | | I don't have a twitter or x account. I clicked the link, a log in modal popped up, I dismissed it, then was able to play the video. Firefox on iPhone if it matters. | | |
