Open YouTube Embeds — Zainag

If you use a VPN or shared network, you may occasionally find that an embedded YouTube video refuses to play and instead displays a sign-in request, verification screen, or "confirm you're not a bot" message.

Open YouTube Embeds makes it easy to open that video directly on YouTube instead.

When a webpage contains an embedded YouTube video, the extension adds a small Open on YouTube button to the player. Click it and the same video opens directly on YouTube in a new tab.

If the embedded video plays normally, the button automatically disappears once playback begins, so it stays out of your way when you don't need it.

• One-click "Open on YouTube" button for embedded videos
• Especially useful when using a VPN or shared IP address
• Opens the correct video directly on YouTube in a new tab
• Automatically disappears when the embedded video plays successfully
• Remains available when the embedded player cannot start
• Supports standard YouTube and privacy-enhanced YouTube embeds
• Preserves the video's starting position when available
• Works with videos dynamically loaded after the page opens
• No analytics, advertising, telemetry, or tracking

Open YouTube Embeds is intentionally simple and privacy-friendly.

The extension does not collect your browsing history, YouTube activity, account information, or personal data. There are no analytics or tracking services.


Open YouTube Embeds does not bypass YouTube authentication, anti-bot protection, geographic restrictions, or other access controls.

It simply provides a convenient way to open an embedded video's normal YouTube watch page when the embedded player isn't working.

If the video plays normally inline, the button gets out of the way. If it doesn't, Open on YouTube is one click away.
