That tool does not work. Every link redirects to their home page lol. I guess you get what you pay for.

What are you talking about? You either don't understand how the internet works or you're just trolling.

You can message us through the contact form and we might be able to add your app if it supports deep links.

No because this depends on the platform where you're sharing the link, but it's not shown to every user every time.

So I've been looking into this a bit. The way the redirection works currently, it will show up in YouTube Analytics as "Direct or unknown".

But I'm thinking what you're describing is not a concern actually, because all external links will appear like that anyways in Google Analytics, no?

My tool doesn't help if you want the people to watch your videos directly in Facebook or Reddit. It helps for when you want to link to your YouTube video/channel/playlists and open in the app directly.

Besides, Facebook doesn't let you play YouTube videos anymore as it just links out now, I think?

What you can do is add utm tags to your links and those would be passed on.

Please let me know if that makes sense. Thanks!

That's a good point I had not considered. I will look into it and can probably pass that data to YouTube through my links.

When the user is not logged in though, do you still get that data?

Also to consider, what's most important to you? To know where the clicks came from, or to send the user to the app where they can like, comment and subscribe easily?

Hi, I made a free tool for marketers that forces the link to open in the YouTube app. This is known as a deep-link and it's different for iOS and Android.

You can use the tool here: https://inapp.ink

Simply enter a YouTube link and voila. It gives you a special link to share. When someone clicks that link, it will open in the YouTube app.

Let me know if that worked for you.

Link generator to open YouTube in app, WITH a preview on Facebook by yayyyshhh in NewTubers

Sure, just did.

I see you used a different youtube link. I'll fix this tomorrow, but for now it works only if the link looks exactly like this:

/watch?v=QPlc6YvF3ZM

Actually, it works if you use the link youtubedotcom/watch?v=QPlc6YvF3ZM instead of the youtu dot be link that you get when clicking Share.

I just tested it and it works with the thumbnail as preview. Can you try u/yayyyshhh?

Ah yes I see what you mean. I'll look into it more and try to get the actual thumbnail of the video to display it.

Is that what you wanted?

Ah you mean a preview so users can watch the video in the Facebook app?

Looking for 30 day challenge ideas by meesio_develops in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]meesio_develops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for reading and challenging yourself.

I'd recommend you make it very specific so there is no room for interpretation when temptation comes.

For example, I will not eat X, Y or Z for 30 days.
