Use the twitter web part

When you add a modern page to a site, you add and customize web parts, which are the building blocks of your page.

This article describes the Twitter web part, where you can show tweets that are relevant to you or your audience right on your page.

Learn how to:

• Add the Twitter web part

• Show tweets from a user

• Show tweets from a collection

• Set display options

Notes: 

• Some functionality is introduced gradually to organizations that have opted in to the Targeted Release program. This means that you may not yet see this feature or it may look different than what is described in the help articles.

• If you don't see this web part in the web part toolbox, your administrator may have disabled it.

• The Twitter web part is not available in SharePoint Server 2019.

• Twitter no longer supports the Internet Explorer 11 browser. For this web part to work properly, use a browser supported by Twitter.

Add the Twitter web part

1. Go to the page where you want to add the Twitter web part.

2. If you're not in edit mode already, click Edit at the top right of the page.

Get results from a collection

You can show results from a collection of Tweets that you curate and manage.

2. Once you have created your collection, click the Filter icon at the top of the collection to access the menu, then click Share and View on twitter.com.

3. From Twitter, copy the web address of the collection. It should look something like this:

   https://twitter.com/Contoso/timelines/951928001880408064

4. In the Twitter web part property pane on your SharePoint page, paste the link for the collection it in the box under Add a Twitter username or a link for a tweet or collection. For example:

Set display options
