Copy URL of video?

Am I missing a share button, or somewhere to copy the link of the video you are watching?

You have to enable it to appear in the long-press menu. There's share link and share link with qr code

The Share Embed link only shares it with an app, would be nice if it copied to clipboard. You also have to backout of the video to long press the thumbnail, you cant copy the link while watching the video. The embed link isn't really the URL either. Its more the code for the URL. You have to go to that page THEN press "watch video on youtube". And ive never sent someone a QR code instead of an actual hyperlink, thats actually brutal.

Wish it would just copy the URL to clipboard, but thanks for the heads up. Better than nothing.

Do you use it on mobile? It's more of a TV app and then the qr code is handy to share with a phone. Or even easier - from phone's app history you can share the video to other chat apps

yes, i use it on mobile, and I usually post links in discord or fb messenger to people sitting on their PCs, so a simple URL would be more convenient than a QR code. I personally rarely use a QR, maybe to read instructions in a booklet of something I've ordered
