Feature description

1. Add Copy to Clipboard option after long hold on video component -> tapping Share
2. Add Copy to Clipboard in video player where the globe and share icons are, or as part of the menu that appears after tapping the share icon, or to the video data menu.

Essentially, just add the Copy to Clipboard ability for YouTube videos anywhere.

Why do you want this feature?

Right now, in order to copy a YouTube video link to my clipboard, I must either

1. Tap the globe icon in the video player, get taken to my Android browser, highlight the URL address and copy it.
   or
2. Tap the share icon in the video player, select a method to send the URL (e.g. send myself the link through Signal), go to that app, and copy the address.
   or
3. Similar to 2. but tap and holding on a video component then selecting Share. Sent the URL to a messaging app, go to that app and copy the address.

It would be much faster to just tap a copy icon from the video player, or other menu.

Additional information

I am using the latest version of NewPipe, v0.25.2.
I am running Android 9, One UI version 1.0

This already exists. Hold tap on the share button

This feature is already available on video player. Long press on share icon lets you copy link with timestamp.

However, this feature is still unavailable for share icon of video details. So, this issue will remain open.

Well I'm not sure if this differs in Android versions, but A10-12 has a copy button at the very top of the native share menu. Is this really not convenient enough?

OP is on Android 9.

Thanks, while I've tried tapping the share button, I didn't know about hold-tapping it. Thank you!

Sigh. You weren't supposed to close it, OP.

[lsahnicne]

I still would like to advocate for OP's original request. Hold-tapping the share icon is just so unintuitive - I never would have discovered it on my own have I not found this thread. Access to such basic functionality should not rely on esoteric knowledge.

When I select share then copy to clipboard, I get an endless message popping up that Google Drive is unable to start. Using Android 7.1 and latest newpipe source on master branch.

If I remove Google Drive, then the option to copy to clipboard is removed also...

[opusforlife2]

That means your copy to clipboard entry was being provided by that app.

Also, instead of making multiple consecutive comments, it's better to edit the existing one, especially if the topic is the same.
