Embedding a Twitter Timeline
Embedded Twitter feeds are no longer displaying content due to a recent change made by Twitter/X. If anything changes, updates will be posted on this page.
1. Navigate to https://twitter.com/settings/widgets.
2. In the main section beside “Widgets” click the “Create new” button.
3. In this window, choose a timeline source: user timeline, favorites, list or specific hash tags. For the purpose of this example, the user timeline for "@sfu_it" account was selected.
4. To create a widget that will showcase sfu_it tweets, click on the “User timeline” tab. Configure and customize your feed by filling in the different fields.
5. Click “Save Changes.”
6. Now take a look at the URL, it should look something like this: https://twitter.com/settings/widgets/XXXXXXXXXX. The ID is located right after "/widgets/" part of the URL, copy the ID. You will need to add this unique number string to the Twitter Timeline component later.
Setting up AEM

2. Pull in a twitter timeline component under the tab “Social”
3. Select "Edit." Add your twitter username and widget ID which you copied from the URL.
