Frequently Asked Questions
Why aren't YouTube Shorts working?
YouTube Shorts are fully supported in Clip-Chain. If you encounter any issues, simply adjust the URL format: replace the “shorts” segment with “watch.” For instance, if your original URL is: ”https://www.youtube.com/shorts/...” change it to: ”https://www.youtube.com/watch/...” Then, click on the “share” button on YouTube and copy the URL from the share dialog. This conversion ensures that the video is correctly recognized and will play seamlessly in Clip-Chain.
Why can't I send a whole YouTube Playlist link?
Clip-Chain is designed to work with individual video links. Handling an entire playlist link involves complex parsing that is not currently supported. We recommend adding individual videos from a playlist to ensure proper playback and precise control.
Why do I still see the YouTube video title and logo even in minimal UI mode?
This behavior is due to restrictions enforced by the YouTube API. Certain branding elements are mandatory and cannot be completely removed even when minimal UI mode is activated, ensuring compliance with YouTube’s branding guidelines.
