I'm wondering: IS there a way to get to that video from the linked tweet without being logged in? I could not figure it out.

Thank you for your service of providing the video.



Yep! For now at least:

1. Copy the ID at the end of the URL

2. Replace the xxxxx in this URL[1] with the ID you just copied

3. Go visit the new URL you just created

So in this case, the bypass URL would be [2]

[1] https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?id=xxxxx

[2] https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?id=17629748464...


Or just "yt-dlp <url>"

yt-dlp ( https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp ) still works pretty well at the current state of Twitter.
