Are you trying to insert a YouTube link into the HTML builder for a video that was originally broadcast as a livestream (such as via Streamyard), but it's not working in the template builder? Chances are it's because it's a "live link" and there is an easy fix.

YouTube has a couple of different URL formats - a standard format and a live format.

Live links have "/live/" in the middle of the URL and standard links have "watch?v="

How to fix the URL

Alternatively, many AI tools like ChatGPT can do this for you easily with a prompt like "convert this url into a standard YouTube link: [your link here]"
