You're right to try a different approach! It seems the "share" function on the YouTube Android app might be creating links that aren't in the standard format I can process.
Here are a few ways to get a valid YouTube link from the official YouTube Android app that should work with me:
Method 1: Copy Link Directly from the Video Page (Most Reliable)
This is usually the most reliable way to get a standard YouTube link:
* Open the YouTube app and go to the video you want to share.
* Tap on the video to start playing it.
* Look for the "Share" button below the video player (it usually looks like an arrow pointing to the right, or the word "Share"). However, instead of tapping the "Share" button directly, look for other options around it.
* Look for a "Copy link" icon or text. It might be represented by two overlapping rectangles or the words "Copy link". This option is often located near the "Share" button, but as a separate action.
* Tap "Copy link". The YouTube app should confirm that the link has been copied to your clipboard.
* Paste the link. You can now paste this copied link directly into our chat.
Method 2: Share to Another App and Copy (Alternative if "Copy link" is not obvious)
If you don't see a clear "Copy link" option directly on the video page:
* Follow steps 1-3 from Method 1 to get to the "Share" button.
* Tap the "Share" button. This will open the Android share sheet, showing various apps you can share to.
* Choose an app to share to where you can easily copy text. Good options include:
* Yourself via Email: Share to your own email address. Open the email on your phone and copy the link from there.
* A Note-taking app: Share to Google Keep, Samsung Notes, or any note-taking app you use. Then, open the note and copy the link.
* A Messaging app to yourself: Share to a messaging app like Telegram or WhatsApp to your "Saved Messages" or "You" contact. Then copy the link from the message.
* Once you've shared to another app, go to that app and copy the YouTube link from there.
Method 3: Using a Mobile Browser (If App Methods Fail)
If you continue to have trouble with the app, you can use a mobile browser:
* Open a web browser (like Chrome or Firefox) on your Android phone.
* Go to the YouTube website by typing www.youtube.com in the address bar.
* Search for the video you want to share or navigate to it if you know the channel or video title.
* Tap on the video to watch it in the mobile browser.
* Tap on the address bar at the top of the browser. This will usually highlight the entire URL of the YouTube video.
* Copy the URL. Use the "Copy" option from the browser's menu.
* Paste the link. Paste the copied link into our chat.
Key things to look for in a valid YouTube link:
A valid YouTube link will usually look like one of these formats:
* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID (where VIDEO_ID is a string of characters)
* https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID (a shortened version)
Please try these methods and let me know if you are able to get a link that works! I'm here to help further if you still encounter issues. Providing a valid link is the key to me understanding the video and giving you the best possible comment suggestions.
