I’m working on a project, and I go to reference another video with the context of referring someone to watch a previous video for education purposes, I pin a short clip of the referenced video on the timeline just above the major video then scale it down so it draws the viewer for just a brief second to the referenced video I like them to eventually go and look at. I would like them to see the whole full referenced so if I could add hyperlink on the video so when they click it or a text that says “click here for full video it will take them there. Just like in YouTube except this video is not on YouTube its on Instagram so it's not like I could make card for it. So what if you guys allowed hyperlink embedding write on the timeline! That would be a game changer because then we could reference videos on platforms lime TikTok or Instagram or anywhere where the link will take them and just embed it on something they could click. Make sure when you guys follow through with this, I get my Credit!😁😏

What??? How is an answer that you don’t like hater talk?

Hyperlinks in video is not part of the video specification… you can put a link in text, but it would only be text to view, not a working link

It sounds like what it sounds like. It would make things really convenient if you could embed a link in a txt or even on a video to an extended version of that video. Right now the only way to reference and have a link is in a YouTube post end card so yea it’s a game changer and not acknowledging it sounds like hater talk as I said before. You don’t like my response find another post to chime in on.
