How to Embed the Twitter Feed Widget from Twitter

You’re probably wondering, does Twitter have an embeddable feed widget I can just use? The answer is yes. Twitter offers a few different embeddable widgets depending upon what you want to display.

How do I get a Twitter embed code?

Here is how to embed Twitter on your website step by step.

There are a few articles out there that tell you that you can manage your Twitter feed widgets through your Twitter account. Twitter no longer allows this, you must use the twitter embed code generator on their publish.twitter.com site to select your widget embed code.

Once on the site, you can select your customized desired widget based on the examples provided in the drop downs. For example, say we want to add the hashtag, #travel, you enter that into the white box, and Twitter’s embed code generator will automatically populate.

Once you’re provided with the Twitter embed code you can copy and paste this into your web pages.

As you can see, adding a Twitter feed embed widget directly from Twitter is easy. But what if you want to add your account, multiple hashtags, and any user-generated tweets from fans with one widget instead of multiple? This is where a social media aggregator comes in.

What is a Social Media Aggregator?

A social media aggregator is a tool that allows you to curate content from your favorite social media platforms into one feed you can embed on your website. Content from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and multiple hashtags, can all appear on one feed and be embedded with one code.

There are many social media aggregators out there, but Juicer is, by far, the easiest and most affordable while still offering all of the best features.
