Frequently Asked Questions

What is a YouTube Video ID?

A YouTube Video ID is a unique 11-character string that identifies a specific video (e.g., dQw4w9WgXcQ). It is used in URLs, embed codes, and API calls.

Can I extract IDs from private videos?

Yes, as long as you have the URL. The tool only parses the URL text and does not access the video content itself.
