How do you watch someone live on Twitter?

Answered by Jeremy Urbaniak

To watch someone live on Twitter, you have a couple of options. First, if you follow the person who is broadcasting live, their live video will appear on your timeline as a tweet. This means that as soon as they start their live broadcast, it will show up in your feed just like any other tweet from the accounts you follow.

Alternatively, if you know that someone is live but don’t see their video on your timeline, you can search for their profile. When you visit their profile, their live video will be displayed as a tweet at the top of their page, so you can easily click on it to start watching.

When you click on a live video tweet, it will open in a separate window or in the Twitter app, depending on how you’re accessing Twitter. You will then be able to watch the live video in real-time, just like you would on other live streaming platforms.

While watching a live video on Twitter, you can interact with the broadcaster and others watching the stream. You can like, retweet, and reply to the tweet that contains the live video. Additionally, you can leave comments or send messages to the broadcaster through the chat feature if it’s enabled.

It’s important to note that not all Twitter users have the ability to broadcast live videos. This feature is currently available to select accounts, typically those with a large following or verified status.

In my personal experience, I have found watching live videos on Twitter to be a great way to stay connected with events, news, and even personal moments shared by people I follow. It offers a real-time experience and allows for instant interaction with the broadcaster and other viewers, creating a sense of community even from a distance.

In summary, to watch someone live on Twitter, simply follow the person who is broadcasting live and their video will appear on your timeline. Alternatively, you can search for their profile and the live video will be displayed as a tweet at the top of their page. Once you click on the live video tweet, you can watch it in real-time and engage with the broadcaster and other viewers through likes, retweets, comments, and messages.
