Twitter is testing a new feature for YouTube videos.

The micro-blogging platform is hoping to allow IOS user to view YouTube videos on the social media app instead of being taken directly to YouTube.

Users can currently only view YouTube videos within Twitter itself is if a user has uploaded it directly from their device to the social media platform or mobile users are booted off Twitter to view the video on the video streaming platform.

However, Twitter is only sampling the new feature on a handful of IOS users with no parrel tests on Andriod devices but developers are hoping to receive positive feedback before carrying out more tests for other devices.
