YouTube

YouTube is a Video integration. With it enabled, you can add a YouTube video to your library simply by pasting its URL — Ink Player fetches the details and plays it through YouTube's embed.

What the integration does

The YouTube integration enables metadata fetching. When you paste a watch URL, Ink Player automatically pulls in the:

• Title
• Poster image
• Duration

Connecting YouTube

1. Go to Settings → Integrations and enable YouTube (Video category).
2. That's it — no credentials are required.

Adding a YouTube video

1. Start adding new media.
2. Paste a YouTube watch URL, in either form:
   • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=…
   • https://youtu.be/…
3. Ink Player auto-fetches the title, poster, and duration.
4. Save the media item.

The video plays through YouTube's embed.

WARNING

Platform embeds can't be truly access-protected. You can place a YouTube video on a gated page, but the underlying video remains reachable on YouTube itself. See Access control for what protection is and isn't possible with embedded platforms.

INFO

Added videos appear in your Media library alongside your other content.
