Twitter will now let users play YouTube videos directly from tweet 

The feature will be made available to a very small group of users in Canada, the US, Japan, and Saudi Arabia.

Twitter is testing new ways to let users play YouTube videos directly from the tweet. Currently, when a user taps on a YouTube link, he is redirected to the YouTube site. But the new feature will play the video directly on the app and website. As per Twitter, the feature is being tested on iOS. This will make it easier for the users to remain on the app and watch videos instead of opening a new link. Announcing the feature, Twitter posted a Gif to show how it works and wrote, “Starting today on iOS, we’re testing a way to watch YouTube videos directly in your Home timeline, without leaving the conversation on Twitter.” As per The Verge, the feature will be made available to a very small group of users in Canada, the US, Japan, and Saudi Arabia. “The current test on iOS will be a four-week experiment. We plan to take a look at the results and will scale accordingly,” a spokesperson told the publication.
