YT Link Preview is a powerful Chrome extension that lets you watch YouTube videos instantly from any webpage by hovering over a small icon next to YouTube links. Without navigating away, you can view the video player along with detailed info such as title, description, duration, publish date, statistics, channel, and category. The preview window is fully draggable and resizable for your convenience. You can also like or dislike videos right from the preview.

To use the extension, simply sign in with your YouTube account via Google's authentication. YT Link Preview does not store any personal data and allows easy revocation of access through its settings. It uses YouTube’s official v3 API but isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google. This tool provides a seamless experience for anyone who wants to preview videos quickly without disrupting their browsing flow.
