Twitter test plays YouTube videos directly in its iOS app
It’s a welcome quality-of-life move
Twitter is testing a much-needed feature in its iOS app starting today.
Sometimes it’s better said with a picture or a video. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be testing some ways to improve how you can share and view media on Twitter. ?

You’ll be able to watch YouTube videos directly in your Home feed.
We only had to wait until 2021 for Twitter to get fully on board with YouTube embeds, which also work on the web app.
Twitter reportedly is considering charging for TweetDeck and new advanced features
You won’t need to move to the built-in browser or change apps to watch a YouTube video that someone tweeted, which is a solid quality-of-life update.
Facebook, meanwhile, doesn’t allow users to watch YouTube embeds told Engadget.
