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! 🤙🏻
