Twitter on a Sharepoint Communication site
I am tryinge to create a Titter feed on a Sharepoint Communication site. When I create on Twitter the widget and copy paste the code in the new embedded webpart I get the error :
SXXI Communicatie - Introductiepagina
We only support embedding content from secure websites (their addresses start with https.) If it's important to embed content from unsecured websites, please send us feedback.
On a classic teamsite I paste the code in a editor webpart and it works.
I have read that the new embed webpart only supports code in "iframe" and I read that Twitter does not support iframe..... Has anyone a solution for this? Show a twitter feed on a communication site?
- Rob, take a look at today’s announcements here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint-Blog/Refine-your-message-and-increase-your-reach-with-SharePoint/ba-p/109553. You’ll find a Twitter announcement in there!

Also 'connect to facebook' will not save the entered Page (the default is 'sonjasapps'). If you enter your own required page name, it just defaults back to sonjasapps. I don't want sonja's apps :-(.
Have tried in various browsers, just in case.
I expect when new 'things' are released there will be some hiccups, but it seems none of these new web parts work.

Anyone tried the new twitter web part. i have verified the external site in the HTML field security per jcgonzalezmartin advice.
Data Widget ID = taken from the original embeded code
Screen Name = screen name
List name = 'left this blank as i just want to show tweets from the account'
Help would be appreciated.

Were you able to add the twitter webpart?
I don't see it in my communications site.
jcgonzalezmartin any idea how to enable it or is it not yet in GA?
This is what I have:
No Twitter webpart.
- I don't have them yet in my tenants!

- Rob RijlaarsdamCopper ContributorThat is great news! Tnx john!
- By the way, if you want to embed something external from SPO you have to verify that the external site is configured in the HTML field security in SPO
