Awhile back I was surprised to open up Twitter and see that there was actually a video within my public Twitter stream. Yes you are reading this correctly, there was a video sitting right along with all the other text tweets that were a part of my Twitter public timeline.
This post will show you how to embed a video or picture into your Twitter stream so that others can be amazed by your newly found Twitter power. Here's a screen shot so you can see for yourself.


Putting videos and pictures into your Twitter Stream is so easy to accomplish and it only takes about 2 minutes to add this power Twitter feature to your account. Follow the steps outlined on this page and you'll be inserting video into your Twitter stream in no time.


For starters, you must have the FireFox web browser installed on your computer. For anyone who is not using FireFox already, use this link which will take you to the page for downloading the FireFox web browser.

Use video or pics as a Tweet

Alright so you've seen that it is actually possible to add a video to your Twitter stream and now you're probably ready to learn how to add vids and pics as Tweets yourself. As I mentioned earlier, you need FireFox for starters. Again if you don't have the FireFox web browser use the link I provided in the introduction paragraph on this page. Once you're sure you have FF installed proceed to the next step.

The magic behind the power of using videos and pictures as Tweets is made possible by a FireFox add-on that goes by the name of Power Twitter. Once installed Power Twitter adds some awesome features to your Twitter account and using video as Tweets is just one of the many features that become available to you with this killer FireFox add-on for Twitter.
