invidi.link

Invidilink is a mobile-first React app to replace YouTube URLs with valid invidio.us (invidious.io) instances URLs.

Ideal for mobile use when somebody posts a youtube link or when one or more invidious instances are experiencing performance issues and a substitute is desired.

For example:

Submitted URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbFAcHteZd8

Sample Results:

• https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=sbFAcHteZd8
• https://invidious.tube/watch?v=sbFAcHteZd8
• https://yewtu.be/watch?v=sbFAcHteZd8
• https://invidious.xyz/watch?v=sbFAcHteZd8
• https://invidious.kavin.rocks/watch?v=sbFAcHteZd8
• https://invidiou.site/watch?v=sbFAcHteZd8

Features a copy button for easy use on mobile and "GO RANDOM" to have the app automatically redirect users to a random available instance.

Additionally, provide a "url" parameter to pre-populate the form:

https://invidi.link/?url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRXJXaLV0n4

In the wild: https://invidi.link/

How it works

invidilink uses monitor data provided by invidious.io to determine which instances are successfully serving videos. The list is populated once per user session.

Privacy

invidilink is GPL licensed. No third-party trackers are used and no URL data is sent to the server.
