Live´s Twitter integration is accessed through their API. Before we can access Twitter’s data however, you will be required to sign-into Twitter. Note: The Twitter account you use to sign- in with will not be seen by your front-end users or linked to your Live profile. That is, signing into Twitter will only enable you to:

• Update Your Twitter Avatar
• Follow a Specific User or Twitter List
• Search and Pull-In Content From Twitter in Real-Time
• Post Twitter Permalinks

Access Twitter Integrated Features in the Live Back-End

To access any of the above Twitter-integrated features for the first time, you will be prompted to sign-into your Twitter account.


Once you have provided your Twitter log-in credentials, you will not be asked to log-in again, as your Twitter account will now be linked to your Live account.
Note: Front-end users will not be able to see your Twitter account.
