Being an X (previously Twitter) user, you must have seen two different ways people repost (previously called retweet) videos uploaded by others. The platform allows you to either repost a video like a quote or give a clickable credit under the video. This read will discuss ways to share a video without reposting (or retweeting). Meanwhile, you can also learn to hide Blue Tick on X (Twitter).
How to Share a Twitter Video Without Retweeting?
While reposting or quoting is the easy way to video uploaded by others. Sharing a video with a clickable credit looks cleaner, captures less screen estate, and keeps the focus on your post. Read the below-mentioned methods to learn how to share a video without reposting or retweeting and only the clickable link to the original poster.
Method 1 – Edit Video URL to Post Without Reposting
1. Go to the tweet with the video you want to share.
2. Tap the share button and copy the link to the tweet or post.
3. Now, create a new tweet or post. Paste the link copied earlier.
4. Type your quote, if any, and delete the URL contents after the status ID, including the “?” and all the contents afterward.
5. Now, add “/video/1” at the end of the URL you are left with, and click Post.
This will share the video without retweeting, with a clickable credit to the original poster of the video.
Method 2 – Post Video on iOS
On iOS, sharing a video without reposting or retweeting while giving clickable credit to the original poster is simple and easy. As on iOS, you do need not edit the URL manually, and it is done automatically by following these steps:
1. Go to the tweet with the video you want to share.
2. Tap and hold the video and select Post Video from the pop-up menu.
3. Add your quote, if any, with the already edited video URL, and tap the Post button.
Method 3 – Embed the Video Link
For PC or web users, alongside editing the URL, there is another way to share a video on X or Twitter without reposting or retweeting. Here’s how it can be done:
1. Go to the tweet with the video you want to share, and click the three dots next to the user.
2. Select the Embed post option from the pop-up menu.
3. On the next page, click Copy Code.
4. Paste this code into a docs file or note app, and copy the first hyperlink from the pasted code.
5. Create a new Twitter post, type the quote you want to share, and paste the hyperlink copied in step 4.
6. Click on Post to share the video with a clickable credit link to the video’s original poster.
Method 4 – Download the Video and Share It as a Regular Post
If you don’t want to credit the video’s original poster to appear under your post (previously called a tweet), you can download and reupload the video from your account. Here’s how it can be done:
1. Copy the tweet or post link with the video you want to share.
2. Paste the link on the Twitter video downloader website, and click Download.
3. Select the video resolution of your choice.
4. Click the three dots menu on the next page, and download the video to your local storage.
5. Now, you can share this downloaded video as a regular tweet or post without crediting the video’s original poster.
