The tweeting window

Twitter integration was a game feature that allowed a player to connect their World of Warcraft account to their Twitter account to post tweets about obtaining rare or higher quality items, earning an achievement or taking a screenshot.

It was announced on 7 February 2023 that it will be removed in an upcoming update.[1] It was fully removed on 9 February 2023.

Steps to activate

  • During gameplay press ESC to open the Game Menu.
  • From the Game Menu click on the Interface option.
  • From the Interface, click on the Social tab.
  • From inside the Social tab, click on the checkbox of Enable Twitter Functionality to enable it.
  • Following the enabling of the checkbox, click on the Sign In button, which should have been enabled.
  • Following this, a Twitter window will be opened, requesting your user and password.
  • Once you have entered your information and authorize the third party application, an icon will appear with every item you collect, achievement earned, or screenshot taken.

Accessing the window

The "Tweet on Twitter" window can be accessed by clicking the icon UI-ChatIcon-Share.png in the chat frame, next to a qualifying item, an achievement, or next to the "Screenshot Captured" text. The window can also be accessed with the /share command.

Inside a tweet

When you click on the icon, a screenshot is taken and a window is opened. From inside, you can crop the screenshot and write a short message before sending it.
