Snapchat now lets you share YouTube videos as a sticker in your snap

It's easier to share a video from YouTube within a snap or story with the help ofSnapchat. The feature can be found on both platforms.

You just need to navigate to YouTube, hit the Share button, and then selectSnapchat, which will open and show the video in your camera. You can place the sticker anywhere on the screen after you take a picture or video. Anyone who sees your snap or story can click on the link to view the video in the app or web browser.

If you ever tried to include a video from YouTube, you would have to copy the link from the site and then open the app, where you would have to take a photo or video, hit the paperclip icon, and paste the link in. The title of the video would be shown along with a small thumbnail as a resizing banner.

You can still add videos like this, but I don&t think it looks as good as this sticker. The new sticker gives you a clearer look at the video thumbnail, and shows you the name of the creator behind the video, instead of the plain old link format leaving that information out. In 2020, a sticker was made for the social network, saving you from taking a picture of a message on your computer screen.

Update April 2nd 6:47PM: Added a screenshot to compare the sticker on the app with the link to the video on the website.
