What you can do with it.

Support the YouTube content you share

Use public video, Shorts, channel, playlist and live-stream URLs without replacing the original destination.

Help viewers continue in YouTube

Supported app-opening flows attempt to open YouTube when available, with a web destination when the app handoff is unavailable.

Compare channels and campaigns

Create separate links for Instagram, WhatsApp, email or QR campaigns and review their click activity in your dashboard.

Channels and playlists

Common questions

How do I create a YouTube direct link?

Sign in, open Create Link and paste your YouTube video or channel URL. Create the link, copy it and share it in your Instagram bio, messages or posts.

Will a YouTube link opener always launch the app?

No. Opening YouTube depends on the installed app, device and browser permissions. A visitor may need to confirm opening the app or continue on the web.

Which YouTube URLs can I use?

You can use public YouTube video, Shorts, channel, playlist and live-stream URLs. Always test the final link on the devices and social apps your audience uses.

Can I use a YouTube direct link in my Instagram bio?

Yes. Create the LinkinApp URL, test it inside Instagram's in-app browser and add the final address to your profile, story, campaign or bio page.

Does a YouTube direct link work on Android and iPhone?

It can attempt the supported YouTube app handoff on both Android and iPhone. The final result depends on the installed app, operating system, browser and visitor settings.

Can I track clicks on my YouTube link?

Yes. Your LinkinApp dashboard records link activity such as total clicks, countries, device types and referring sources. Clicks do not represent views, subscribers or watch time.

Can I share several YouTube videos in one bio link?

Yes. Create a bio page and add separate links for your videos, Shorts, playlists, channel and other destinations.
