How to forward from YouTube to WhatsApp - in detail?
To forward a video from YouTube to WhatsApp, you can follow these detailed steps:
- Open the YouTube App: Launch the YouTube app on your mobile device. If you don't have the app installed, you can download it from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
- Find the Video You Want to Share: Browse through the YouTube app to locate the video you wish to forward. Once found, tap on the video to open it.
- Copy the Video Link: While watching the video, look for the "Share" icon (usually represented by three dots or an arrow pointing upwards). Tap on this icon to bring up the sharing options. Among the options presented, select "Copy link". This action copies the URL of the video to your device's clipboard.
- Open WhatsApp: Exit the YouTube app and open the WhatsApp application on your mobile device. Ensure that you have an active internet connection for both apps to function correctly.
- Select the Recipient or Group: Within WhatsApp, navigate to the chat with the recipient(s) you wish to send the video to. This could be a single contact or a group conversation.
- Paste the Link in the Chat Box: In the chat window, tap on the text input field where you would normally type a message. Long press in this field to bring up the paste option. Tap on "Paste" to insert the YouTube video link into the chat box.
- Send the Message: Once the link is pasted, you can add any additional text or emojis as desired. When ready, tap the send button (usually an arrow or paper plane icon) to forward the message containing the YouTube link to your recipient(s).
- Recipient Viewing Options: On receiving the message, the recipient will see a clickable link. Tapping on this link will open the YouTube app (if installed) and directly play the video. If the YouTube app is not installed, tapping the link will open the video in the device's default web browser.
By following these steps, you can easily forward any YouTube video to WhatsApp, ensuring that your recipients can enjoy the content you wish to share with minimal hassle.
