We often want to retweet a video, image, text, etc. on Twitter. We often like the original tweet, and some people want to make changes as per their desire. If you want to share a video of someone, but you do not want to post the original tweet, this article might be helpful for you.

How to share X or Twitter video without retweeting
To share video on Twitter without retweeting, follow these steps-
- Open a tweet that has a video.
- Click the share button and select Copy link to Tweet.
- Compose a tweet for your profile.
- Paste the URL of the tweet.
- Remove extra parameters.
- Type /video/1 at the end.
- Write the desired text for the tweet.
- Click the Tweet button.
Let’s delve into the steps in detail.
At first, you need to get the URL of the tweet, which has a video in it. You can find such a tweet from any user across Twitter. Once you get the video or tweet, click the date/time of the tweet. This step helps you eliminate all the confusion to get the URL when you have found a retweet on the timeline.
If you have a simple tweet, you do not need to click the date/time of the tweet.
Now, click the “share” like button and select Copy link to Tweet.
Then, you need to compose a tweet for your profile. In the compose section, write your desired text, and paste the previously copied URL. It might look something like this-
https://twitter.com/<username>/status/1234567890?s=
You need to remove the additional parameter (?s=20) from the URL and write this-
/video/1
For example, the URL as mentioned earlier would be looking like this-
https://twitter.com/username/status/1234567890/video/1
Now, you can click the Tweet button to publish it. It should be looking like this-
That’s it!
