YouTube video watcher
I made a site to watch YouTube videos without cookies and without most of the UI. It’s idea is to make it possible to just show one video at a time for example some kiosk projects or something that can load embeds, but no YouTube UI or advanced cookie javascript.
It supports most of the YouTube URL’s (shorts, embeds, watch (live support too) and youtu.be) or you could only paste or type in the video ID. Also you can type it in the URL: https://yt-watcher.suklaasukkula.dev/VIDEO_ID_OR_URL_HERE.
Please watch the showcase video from my last devlog. This was a pretty simple project compared to my other projects, but it was still fun to make.

Devlog 3
This is the final devlog probably.
I have now added the ability to type the video ID straight to the URL. Like this: https://yt-watcher.suklaasukkula.dev/VIDEO_ID_HERE
You can even type the YouTube video URL straight to the URL. Like this: https://yt-watcher.suklaasukkula.dev/VIDEO_URL_HERE
I had to use a 404 HTML file because otherwise it would just return 404 when you tried to enter the video ID in the URL (and I used AI to help with that).

Devlog 2
I made the UI a bit better
And I finally added support for other YouTube URLs:
- Shorts works
- Embed works
- Live works (atleast with the youtube.com/watch URL)
I also swapped the Kevin MacLeod for a random screen test video :)
The project is now almost completed, the final feature I want to add is that you could put the video ID in the URL of this website and that would load it.

Devlog 1
I’m making a YouTube video watcher, that you can use to watch YouTube videos without cookies and with super simple UI. Like if you are using an old browser this might work idk.
This currently has:
A button to show the input field
You can enter the video ID, or use a YouTube URL for easy use, but the URL thing doesn’t currently support shorts or embed URL’s.
I will make it better next devlog.
