Frequently Asked Questions
An embeddable YouTube video can be displayed inside an iframe on external websites. If the video owner disables embedding, the video will only play on YouTube itself and third-party sites will show a "Video unavailable" error.
Yes. Paste one URL per line and the tool will check all of them in parallel. You can mix individual video URLs, Shorts, and full playlist URLs — playlists are expanded automatically into their videos before the check runs.
For each video the tool fetches the YouTube embed page and inspects the player configuration. If YouTube returns a playability status of OK the video is embeddable; if it returns an error status (such as Error 153 — embedding disabled) the video cannot be embedded on external sites.
"Unavailable" means the video was removed, made private, or does not exist. "Age-restricted" means YouTube requires the viewer to be signed in to watch it, which also prevents it from playing in anonymous embeds on external websites.
