Trusted by 5,000+ creators

Content creators, artists, musicians, streamers, and marketers use ytOpen to make sure their links open in the right app on Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, Twitter/X, Facebook, and more.

How It Works

Three steps to bypass the in-app browser

Step 1

Paste Your Link

Paste any YouTube or Spotify link above: a video, short, live stream, playlist, track, or album. We support all URL formats.

Step 2

Get Your ytOpen Link

We generate a custom redirect link on our domain. This link will escape Instagram's browser and open the content in the native app.

Step 3

Share & Done

Use the link in your Instagram bio, stories, or any social media. When tapped, the app opens automatically.

The Problem

Why your YouTube links aren't getting the engagement they deserve

Without ytOpen

  • Instagram opens links in its own limited browser
  • Users forced to log into YouTube again
  • No comments, subscriptions, or recommendations
  • High drop-off rate, low watch time

With ytOpen

  • Opens directly in the YouTube app
  • Users stay logged in, full experience
  • Comments, subscribe, related videos all work
  • Higher engagement, better channel growth
