Getting Started

Follow these simple steps to analyze any YouTube video:

1

Find a YouTube Video URL

Copy the full URL of any YouTube video you want to analyze. The URL typically looks like:

Tip

You can also use shortened YouTube URLs (like youtu.be links) or just the video ID (the part after v= in the URL).

2

Paste the URL into the input field labeled "YouTube Video URL". If you have a YouTube URL in your clipboard when you open the page, it will automatically be inserted for you.

Valid URL formats:

  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
  • https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ
  • dQw4w9WgXcQ (just the video ID)

Click "Analyze Video Stats"

Click the "Analyze Video Stats" button or press Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on Mac) to retrieve the video statistics.
