youtube-discord-embed
Embed YouTube video on Discord, inspired by FixTweet, powered by Next.js/Vercel.
Disclaimer (UPDATE II, 17.09.24)
Due to recent YouTube breakdown, setting values of cookies is required.
Please follow the instructions here, stringify the JSON value, rename the .env.example to .env, then paste the stringified JSON value to the COOKIE_BYPASS key.
If you ever encounter the error message (which one day it will happen), 'Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot', it means you need to return to step one, which involves renewing the cookies.
It's simple: just go back to where you obtained the cookies and copy them again.
Motivation
I just hate the current YouTube embed, where in mobile, you'll be redirected outside Discord/to YouTube app just to play a video, which is not a really pleasant experience.
What does this do?
Basically pulling off YouTube video, and make it playable through embeds with OpenGraph/Twitter meta tags.
This concept is pretty much the same with FixTweet or similar.
Nice, can I use this?
Absolutely, you can fork the repo, host it somewhere else, and change the domain.
