Twitter Testing YouTube Playback In App For iOS Users

Twitter has announced that it’s testing a new feature that will allow iOS users to view YouTube videos right in their timeline without having to swap over to the YouTube app. Prior to now, watching a YouTube video on Twitter required tapping on a link and opening up the YouTube app on iOS devices.

Starting today on iOS, we’re testing a way to watch YouTube videos directly in your Home timeline, without leaving the conversation on Twitter. pic.twitter.com/V4qzMJMEBs
