Twitter today announced that it is testing a new iOS feature that’s designed to allow Twitter users to view YouTube videos right in their timeline without having to swap over to the YouTube app.



Starting today, Twitter for iOS users who see a YouTube video in their timeline can watch the video without leaving the Twitter app. Prior to now, watching a YouTube video on Twitter required tapping on a link and opening up the YouTube app on iOS devices.

Twitter will also soon launch a new “Spaces” chat room feature that’s similar to social networking app Clubhouse. With Spaces, Twitter offers users public chat rooms that users can create or join. The host who created the Space has speaking privileges to talk to those who join, and can designate up to nine other speakers. Twitter plans to launch Spaces for everyone in April.
