Embedding Twitter video into elearning
Hi everyone.
I am trying to embed a video from twitter into my elearning and just can't figure it out. Twitter provides embedding code but storyline just won't work.
For example, if you look on BBC's website you can see they sometimes have a twitter widget embedded in their articles.
I can embed youtube and BBC videos but can't for the life of me figure out how to embed a twitter video.
I don't own the video so from my research, this is the best way to credit the original source and avoid any potential IP issues, feel free to correct me on that though.
Any ideas?
Thank you all.

- Can you share a link to the Tweet? Twitter doesn't actually host videos. It just embeds them from other places. So, I suspect the solution will be to find the source of the video (on YouTube or Vimeo or wherever) and grab the embed code from there.
- Thanks James, I'd rather keep the learners in the elearning if possible.
Interesting idea to find where its hosted... I will see what I can find out about that.
- Well, of course. The last ditch effort would be to just link over to it. But, assuming it's on something like YouTube, embedding from the source is likely to work. In fact, I need to test that. :) Let us know how it goes.
