Question 1

What does Redirectube do?

Accepted Answer

Redirectube converts any YouTube URL into a smart link that opens the YouTube app on mobile and bypasses Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat in-app browsers.

Question 2

Do I need to generate a Redirectube link?

Accepted Answer

No. You can swap the domain on any existing YouTube URL: replace youtube.com with redirectube.com, or youtu.be with redirectu.be. Everything after the domain — video ID, query parameters, timestamps, playlist references — is preserved exactly. For example, youtube.com/watch?v=abc123&t=42s becomes redirectube.com/watch?v=abc123&t=42s, and youtu.be/abc123 becomes redirectu.be/abc123.

Question 3

Is Redirectube free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Redirectube is free to use. Paste a YouTube URL on the homepage and copy the generated link.

Question 4

Can I create deeplinks for sites other than YouTube?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For deeplinks to any website that bypass in-app browsers, use LinkTaps at https://linktaps.io.

Question 5

Can LinkTaps deeplink an entire domain I host?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LinkTaps supports domain-wide deeplinking — connect a domain you own and set rules to target which URLs or pages will automatically bypass in-app browsers, with no per-link generation. It's the same pattern Redirectube uses for youtube.com, applied to your own brand domain. See https://linktaps.io for setup.
