you can only do it in the ad format. Before the X update in early 2026, you could post clickable images but the feature was changed/removed so now only when running ads can you use it

Posting clickable photos was removed from X at the start of this year I think.
For posting a video where users can go by clicking on it to open the linked website, the Video Website Card feature from X Ads Manager has to be used. Using this feature is totally free of cost; y u need not necessarily start a paid a vertising campaign to post it organically on your page.
Otherwise, if you are simply looking for ways to post someone else's trending video natively without mentioning the account of the user in any way, then you can copy the post link of the user and add "/video/1" at the end of it

Actually, the mechanism for attaching links to videos is still working, it's just a bit harder to pull off now. Right now, users normally need a Premium account to use this feature. But there’s a trick to bypass the $8 fee and use it freely. The cool thing is, if you target the right niche, the CTR (click-through rate) from these video links is incredibly high.

It seem that X is changing the characteristic all the time therefore, the old tactic will no longer be applicable. It is safer to opt for video website card.
It seem like X is constantly changing these attributes, making the conventional method obsolete very soon after. video Website card method is the best option at the moment compared to some uncharted hacks.
