CN Link

Create a YouTube Direct Link

Open YouTube. Not the in-app browser.

Paste any YouTube video or Short and create a direct link designed to open the video in the YouTube app.

How it works

Beat the in-app browser in three steps

Social apps trap links inside their own browsers, so viewers miss out on subscribing, liking and full playback. CN Link routes them straight to YouTube instead.

  1. 01

    Paste a YouTube link

    Drop in any YouTube video or Shorts URL. CN Link reads the video ID from any standard link format.

  2. 02

    Share the CN Link

    Post your new link in bios, stories, DMs and captions anywhere an in-app browser would normally get in the way.

  3. 03

    Opens in the YouTube app

    When a viewer taps it, the link is built to hand off to the native YouTube app, with a web fallback if the app is unavailable.
