The comment I received from @Urrunaga was that the photos weren’t appearing when she tried it. I guess it depends on the way the photo was uploaded to Twitter. Seems to work well. (or perhaps she didn’t grab the link to the tweet properly)

You need to have Twitter API keys set up in your site settings for that to work.

Can’t find where to put this … only see API keys for authentication… are they pulled from there?

Yes they are. So enable that.

Did that, now Tweets don’t embed at all.
I didn’t create a working application, just got far enough to generate the consumer and access keys and secrets.

I believe it needs to be fully configured as Twitter requires that for API access.

Just to help out anyone else who needs to go through this process, in order to set up the rich embeds, you’ll need to:
- Register for a developer account with twitter - [https://developer.twitter.com/](https://developer.twitter.com/)
- Once you’ve been approved (this took about a week for me) then..
- Create a new app for your twitter developer account (you only need to complete the required fields on the form)
- Enter the app’s Twitter Consumer Key & Twitter Consumer Secret in your Discourse site’s settings - you’ll find those fields in in `admin > login`
- Refresh your browser window, then paste a tweet into a post as usual
