The complete reference: every YouTube link format, whether ClipConverter accepts it, and where to learn more.

Supported formats

• Short links: youtu.be/VIDEO_ID. YouTube's own shortener; identical video, works the same.
• Shorts: youtube.com/shorts/VIDEO_ID. See Shorts to MP3.
• Clips: youtube.com/clip/CLIP_ID. Copy the clip's own link, not the source video's. See clip to MP3.
• Live replays: youtube.com/live/VIDEO_ID or a watch URL of a completed stream. See live stream to MP3.
• YouTube Music: music.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID. See Music to MP3.
• Embeds: youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID, found in page source of embedded players. See embed link to MP3.

Not supported

• Private videos: only the uploader and chosen viewers can access them.
• Deleted videos: nothing to fetch.
