Checklist (strict)

1. Incognito/Private tab in a mobile browser, logged out (“Sign in” visible).
2. Open https://m.youtube.com/shorts/tfu7EGSFbLs and expand the URL bar so the full /shorts/tfu7EGSFbLs path is readable in the screenshot (no cropping).
3. After it finishes redirecting/loading, copy/paste the final URL text (or type it).

If it redirects to youtube.com with ?app=desktop, delete the parameters so the URL is exactly https://m.youtube.com/shorts/tfu7EGSFbLs, then reload.

Make the URL bar readable (important)

• iPhone/iPad Safari (Private Browsing): tap the address bar to expand it. If it hides, swipe down a little to bring it back. If needed, long‑press and copy the URL text.
• Android Chrome (Incognito): tap the address bar so it expands; make sure the full /shorts/tfu7EGSFbLs path is visible in the screenshot. If you see ?app=desktop, delete the parameters so it’s exactly https://m.youtube.com/shorts/tfu7EGSFbLs, then reload.
• Android Firefox (Private): tap the lock/icon then the address bar to fully reveal the URL. If there’s a “hide toolbar” setting, turn it off temporarily so the URL stays visible.

A “Video unavailable” screen is OK — as long as the URL bar is readable.

Reply template

When you send the screenshot, please also paste the final URL text (copied from the address bar).

Final URL: (paste here)
Result: (playing / Video unavailable / other error)
Browser + device: (e.g., iPhone Safari, Android Firefox)

Deutsch (Kurzfassung)

1. Am Smartphone/Tablet im Browser öffnen (nicht die YouTube‑App).
2. Inkognito/Privat öffnen und sicherstellen: ausgeloggt (Button „Sign in/Anmelden/Logga in“ sichtbar).
3. Diese URL öffnen: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/tfu7EGSFbLs
4. URL‑Leiste antippen, bis der volle Pfad sichtbar ist: /shorts/tfu7EGSFbLs (nicht abgeschnitten).
5. Falls Redirect/Parameter: alles nach tfu7EGSFbLs löschen, sodass die URL wieder exakt https://m.youtube.com/shorts/tfu7EGSFbLs ist, dann neu laden.
6. 1 Screenshot: geöffnete URL‑Leiste + Video spielt ODER komplette Fehlermeldung. Bitte zusätzlich die finale URL als Text schicken.

Wenn die URL‑Leiste den Pfad nicht vollständig zeigt: im Share‑Menü „Link kopieren“ und die finale URL in die Nachricht einfügen (Screenshot trotzdem).

Before you start

• Use your phone/tablet browser (NOT the YouTube app).
• Use a Private/Incognito tab.
• Confirm you’re logged out (you should see a “Sign in” button on YouTube, in any language).

1. Open Private/Incognito.
2. Open: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/tfu7EGSFbLs
   Copy/paste URL (plain text): https://m.youtube.com/shorts/tfu7EGSFbLs
3. If redirected, note the final URL.
4. Tap the address bar until the FULL URL is visible and includes /shorts/tfu7EGSFbLs.
5. Fallback if you can’t make the full URL visible: use your browser’s Share menu (or long-press the address bar) to Copy link. Paste the full final URL into the helper chat message. Still take ONE screenshot showing (a) the Sign in button (logged out) and (b) the video playing OR the full error. (Preferred receipt is still an expanded URL bar showing /shorts/tfu7EGSFbLs.)
6. Confirm you can see a “Sign in” button (any language).
7. Take ONE screenshot showing the full URL bar + the page (video playing OR full error).

Address bar tips (to show the full /shorts/… path)

• Android Chrome: tap the URL bar, then drag/scroll inside it to the end. If it still truncates: Share → Copy link, paste into the URL bar, then reload.
• Android Firefox: tap the URL bar, then drag/scroll inside it to the end (the path can be scrollable). If needed: Share → Copy link and paste it into the URL bar.
• iOS Safari: tap the URL bar once (it expands), tap again to select/expand the full URL. If it’s still hard to read: Share → Copy link, paste into the URL bar.
• iOS Chrome (and other iOS browsers): tap the URL bar, tap again to select/expand. If it truncates: Share → Copy link, paste into the URL bar, reload.

Preferred receipt: a screenshot where the expanded URL bar visibly includes /shorts/tfu7EGSFbLs. If your browser won’t show it, the Copy link fallback + pasted final URL still helps.

Privacy note

Please don’t share personal info. The screenshot should only show the YouTube page + URL bar.
