Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I tried to download the april fools video that BK tweeted about a new chocolate whopper. I was hoping to post the video directly to a chat instead of linking it to show some friends. I ran into an issue when doing so.

There is no video in this tweet, it's in https://twitter.com/BurgerKing/status/979790335240036354.

Oh, whoops. I had been on the right tweet but I must've clicked another one before copying the URL.
