AI video check

Check a public link or upload the original video

Public TikTok and X/Twitter links are in beta when accessible. Instagram and YouTube links may return limited link scans. Upload the original file for the most reliable frame, motion, and timeline analysis.

Option 1

Fastest

Use a public YouTube video or Shorts link for a first-pass check. Upload the original file when you need deeper frame and motion review.

Option 2

Deeper scan

Use upload when you need the strongest available frame, motion, and timeline analysis.

By clicking Check YouTube video link, you confirm you have the right to submit this video link for analysis and understand results are likelihood-based, not proof.

Estimated credits depend on video size and duration. Detected platform: YouTube.

Start with YouTube link signals, then upload for deeper review

If a YouTube video feels suspicious, start with the public link. Some YouTube links may only allow a limited link scan because public media access can be restricted. Upload the original video file when you need full frame, motion, and timeline analysis.

This is useful for viral Shorts, news clips, reposted explainers, and videos people are sharing quickly before the source is clear.

YouTube links you can try

  • Public YouTube watch links.
  • Public youtu.be share links.
  • Public YouTube Shorts links.
  • Public mobile YouTube watch links.

YouTube links that may fail

  • Private or deleted videos.
  • Members-only videos.
  • Age-restricted or region-blocked videos.
  • Live videos.
  • Playlist or channel links instead of one video.

What the YouTube report may show

  • AI likelihood and confidence level.
  • Visual clues in faces, hands, backgrounds, objects, and reflections.
  • Motion clues such as flicker, warping, or repeated movement.
  • Audio-video consistency signals, when readable audio is available.
  • Source clues from the public page, when available.
  • What could not be checked.

How to check a YouTube video in 3 steps

  • Copy the public YouTube video or Shorts link.
  • Paste it into AI Video Detector.
  • Read the report, especially the confidence level and limitations.

FAQ

Questions this page answers

Can I check YouTube Shorts?

You can try public Shorts links for a limited public-link check. Upload the original video if you need frame-level review.

Why can a YouTube link return a limited report?

Some YouTube pages do not expose enough public media to the scanner. The report should explain what was not checked.

Should I paste a playlist or channel URL?

No. Use a single watch, Shorts, or youtu.be video link instead of a playlist, channel, or search page.
