What is it?

The Twitter Embed widget allows you to add your department or unit's Twitter feed to an advanced or unit landing page. This widget can be added directly to a page or in a Two Column Widget or Three Column Widget.

Display options

The height of the feed is predetermined by Twitter's embed code, and the width of the feed spans the width of the section it is in. For this reason, it is best to use the Twitter Embed in a Two or Three Column Widgets.

NOTE: Depending on what browser you're using and your browser's privacy settings, a page might not display the twitter feed and instead will show a text link to Twitter. If a Twitter account is private, or does not exist, it also shows a text link to Twitter.
