FAQ

Why paste the source?

Private videos only render for a logged-in session. This way your own browser loads the page and the server never needs your account.

Is it safe?

The server only scans the pasted text for a media URL and then discards it. No credentials or cookies are sent.

Can I do this on a phone?

It is awkward — mobile browsers usually block view-source:. A desktop browser is easier.

It says nothing was found

Usually the copy was partial. Press Ctrl+A to select the whole page before copying.
