Twitter (and YT) embed tag
#6

Screenshots could be automated on the backend potentially (although if the content is served from WRC it doesn't matter if it's an image or text), but I'm not going to be taking screenshots of tweets to post, sorry. Leaving aside the time it takes to do it, it makes for a worse user experience for most people, the image won't be adaptive to mobile, it won't provide the original context, nor does it provide an accessible experience for the visually impaired.

Cutting and pasting the content of the tweet is possible, but I don't have a lot of confidence in the BB system to render it particularly well.

To me the question was providing a link alone, or using the system embedding tools to show an inline rendering of the tweet.
