Videos sent through twitter somehow work on the switch browser.
-
Not sure if this is off topic, but ive noticed that videos sent through the dm feature on twitter are able to play , with minimal issue on the switch browser. Does anyone know why this is, and if it n be put to use?

If it's through the share applet, it's very likely due to this: https://browsedns.net/topic/359/browser-applets-and-why-videos-don-t-work?_=1652035094029
Basically, when accessed via DNS the web view has the video playback functionality disabled. When accessed via the share applets, videos can work, however only over trusted domains (eg. Twitter, Google, Facebook).
That's very interesting though! So through Twitter DMs and switching back and forth between the DNS browser, you could have a semi functional method of viewing videos.
Maybe it'd be possible to create a type of bot that uses the Twitter API to DM certain types videos for playback.

@Nico_Robin added some more info in shoutbox, if anyone wants to try this out:
if you already have your twitter linked, you can just click sign up and it'll show a error message, but just click the button and it'll take you to the twitter start page
So, if you press Share (eg. from Album or from a game) after linking Twitter, you can get to the Twitter start page, and access your DMs.

i know ima bit late to the party, but ive also found that you can use google drive by going from
twitter > sign up with google > google support (through the learn more bit about guest mode) > 9 dot app thing > google drive
its a bit out of the way, but it works.

@oklol123 theres another thing i forgot to add. its hella slow so you gotta be patient and when you open a video you have to wait a minute for the youtube-like player to open before hitting the video.

@Hunter-0 you know when it refuses to load and says 'reload' or 'cancel' a million times on certain pages even after you reload it? if you press the + button while it's loading and kinda wait, it sometimes lets you go to the page
