Snapchat now allows sharing YouTube videos as a sticker in snap
Washington, April 4: Snapchat is now letting users share YouTube videos as a sticker within the snap or story, eliminating the process of copying, pasting and attaching the video as a link. The feature is available for both Android and iOS users.
According to The Verge, all Snapchat users need to do is navigate to the YouTube video they want to share, hit the "Share" button, and then select "Snapchat." The social media app will open, and the video will automatically appear in the camera as its own sticker, showing the name, thumbnail and creator of the video.
Users can also play around with the size of the sticker, rotate it and place it anywhere on the screen. Anyone who views the snap or story can click on the link to watch the video within the YouTube app or in their web browser.

The new sticker provides a clearer look at the video's thumbnail and displays the name of the video's creator, whereas the old link format did not provide that information.
“This is the first time that YouTube links can be shared visually to Snapchat Stories and one-on-one Snaps, while still accessing the Camera and full suite of Snapchat Creative Tools for self-expression. Our tappable YouTube stickers bring Snapchatters directly to the video within the YouTube app or in their preferred mobile browser,” read a blog post by the company.
In 2020, Snapchat created a sticker for tweets, allowing you to skip sending screenshots of tweets.
