Rumors that Twitter is working on a new feature that will allow multiple users to co-author a tweet surfaced earlier this year, and now, Twitter has finally gone live with its new CoTweets feature. The new feature allows two users to collaborate on a tweet, or simply, CoTweet a post together.
CoTweeting will work with a user tweeting a post and then adding a second Twitter user to it as a co-author. The second user must first confirm that they have been added to the tweet.
The feature is currently only working for a few users in select regions such as the US, Canada, and Korea, and has yet to see a wider rollout as it is still being tested.
“We’re continuing to explore new ways for people to collaborate on Twitter. We’re testing CoTweets for a limited time to learn how people and brands can use this feature to grow and reach new audiences and strengthen their collaborations with other accounts,” Twitter said in a statement. announced the feature on a new support page.
Twitter also notes that at the end of its experiment, it may disable the feature and remove any CoTweet posted.
CoTweets can be composed just like regular tweets, but users must select the CoTweet icon to invite another user to co-author the post. This other user must be someone who follows you and has a public account. You can CoTweet with only one other user at a time.
These CoTweets can then be retweeted, tweeted and commented on by any user who can see the tweet. However, CoTweets cannot be promoted and only the original author (the one who sends the CoTweet invitation) can tweet a CoTweet.
Users invited to CoTweet can decline an invitation and can also block other users from sending them CoTweet invitations in the future by blocking the account entirely. If you accept an invitation but change your mind later, you can also revoke your invitation and the CoTweet will revert to a normal Tweet.
CoTweets will be identifiable by the names and profile pictures of both authors and will be visible to followers of both authors’ timelines.
CoTweets cannot currently be shared with Twitter circles, communities, or Superfollower-only Tweets. However, they can be uploaded to Twitter Spaces by Spaces hosts if they are the original author of the CoTweet.
CoTweet invites can be found in your DMs (direct messages) and users invited to CoTweet will also see a notification informing them of the same.
