FYI: on YouTube links, only the first part of the link is needed. The question mark and everything after it is tracking data that identifies your account. You can delete the question mark and everything after it; your link will still work, but you won't be feeding them tracking data when we click on it.

Thanks, friend!

Nearly.

There are multiple forms of YouTube links. Eg, for me, the above resolves to https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=MaumrkrJUYQAbdxy&v=ylhsbfQTPDQ&feature=youtu.be

The ?v=randomstuff is required. Anytime you see si=blahblah, or anything else, it is not required

@No1 @Rivalarrival yes, please. Always remove the si tracking bs.

There's an android app called URLCheck that can strip unwanted bits off the end of urls and then open them as well.
