I’ve been hearing a lot of talk recently on people being confused over how to use Twitter and what Twitters real applications are. All I hear is that people don’t want to know if you’re going to the bathroom or what you ate for lunch. I’m hear to tell you that’s completely false.

Twitter serves more of a purpose than just informing people where you’re at or what you’re doing. It’s a constant stream of information. Not only that, but it’s a constant stream of information that’s updated in real-time.

If the following video doesn’t answer all your questions, please feel free to comment below.

**UPDATE** Yes i know I say ampersand (&) instead of the at symbol (@). It should be the at symbol (@). My bad.

**Note** you can use any video as your featured video. You’re not restricted to only videos you’ve uploaded.

After logging in, click the account button in the upper right corner.

Once your account page has loaded, you’re given some options in a blue box. Under the more category, click edit channel.

After the page loads, you’ll be on the “edit channel info” page. You’ll now want to click on “channel design” on the left side of the page.

Once in the “channel design” page, you’ll see a section called “layout properties”.  You’ll want to check the box that says “Featured Video” and then click the second radio button with the words “Video URL”.  Then in box directly under “URL:” put the link to the video you want to use as your featured video.

When linking to your video make sure you use the link URL and not the embed URL.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask in the comments below and I’ll get back to you as fast as I can.
