Youtube Tips and Tricks » retrieve youtube video id
So, what is my video's ID?
Each youtube video has a unique ID, a number of 11 letters, numbers and some special characters.
ID's can be easily found in the URL of the video. Let's take this video, for example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=p95sDD75-c0.
The ID of this video is
p95sDD75-c0. It always has "
v=" in front of it, so if your youtube video url is very long, look for
v= and the number after it is your ID.
Knowing a youtube video's ID is very usefull, for example, when you want to retrieve
youtube thumbnails of a specific video.
