Questions
Can I use someone else’s thumbnail?
Only for reference, commentary or research. Thumbnails are the creator’s work; don’t re-upload them as your own.
Why is the HD version missing?
Older videos and some uploads only have smaller sizes. Use the next size down.
Can I download the video too?
No. This site doesn’t download YouTube videos; that breaks YouTube’s terms.
