X says embedding is only available on x.com, so do this from a browser rather than the app.

  2. Select Embed post from the menu.
  3. publish.x.com opens. Click set customization options to change how it looks.
  4. If the post is a reply, tick Hide Conversation to leave out the original post.
  5. Click Copy Code.
  6. Paste the code into your website or blog.

What else can you embed from X?

publish.x.com, X's embed tool, offers more than single posts. Paste an X URL into its box to see the options:

  • Embedded Post: one post, with its photos, videos and GIFs
  • Embedded Timeline: a responsive stream of posts, which X suggests for showing top posts from a profile
  • Embedded Video: for video-only posts or live broadcasts
  • X Buttons: Share, Follow, Mention, Hashtag and Message buttons
  • Embedded Broadcast

How do replies, media and protected posts appear?

  • Photos and videos uploaded to X display in the embed, as does content described by a link
  • A reply shows the parent post above it, with links to both posts and to the replier's profile. Hide Conversation removes the parent
  • Posts from protected accounts have no embed code
  • If a post is later deleted, made protected or its account suspended, the text stays visible on your site but X's code no longer loads the media

What should a small business embed?

Our suggestions:

  • A customer's public post praising you, on a reviews or testimonials page
  • Your launch or announcement post, so website visitors can reply or repost it
  • A Follow button in your site footer
  • An embedded timeline on a news page, if you post on X often enough to keep it fresh
  • Recheck embeds now and then: a deleted post leaves only its text behind

Why won't your X embed work?

  • There's no Embed post option: you're in the app. Use x.com in a browser
  • No embed code appears: the account protects its posts
  • Images or video are missing: the post was deleted, protected or suspended after you embedded it
  • The original post shows above yours: it's a reply, so tick Hide Conversation and copy the code again
  • The code shows as plain text on your page: X's instructions are to paste it into your site's HTML, so use your editor's HTML or code block
