When you share Youtube links, they often contain a tracking code by the name of `si=something`.

It's perfectly save to remove this (and other) parts of the URL to make sharing more safe.

A good YouTube URL should look like this:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=video-id (rule of thumb: remove everything after and including the first "&")

or

https://youtu.be/video-id (rule of thumb: remove everything after and including the first "?")

Doing this does not only improve your security, but the security of everyone opening your link.

Happy sharing! PV! 🤙🏻
