How to add a YouTube video to your Linktree

To add a YouTube video, paste its URL into a new link and choose how it looks. Visitors can watch the video right on your Linktree, or go straight to it on YouTube. On a Pro or Premium plan, you can also keep the link updated with your latest upload, or show several videos from your channel.
