Quick tutorial on posting Twitter links from a phone

If you post a mobile Twitter link, it will NOT embed, meaning readers will only see the link and no content. See the mobile Twitter link below for an example:


https://mobile.twitter.com/TomHall/status/972162720144310273/video/1

Now, you have to perform minor surgery on the link to get it to embed. Delete the word "mobile" and the period immediately following that word. It will now embed correctly as shown below:


/video/1

Voila! Enjoy
