Questions
- Is it fair to the show?
- The moment plays in YouTube's own player, from the show's own upload, with the show's title and channel on the page. Nothing is copied, and the full episode is one click away on YouTube.
- Why share the moment instead of quoting it?
- A written quote loses the pause, the laugh and the tone. A Playback is the quote and the tape together, looping until it lands, and it opens on that moment instead of at the start of a three-hour episode.
- Can I share several moments from one episode?
- A Cut plays up to 12 moments in the order you choose, from one episode or from several, each with its own note: the best three exchanges, or the same question answered by three guests.
- Can I put two answers side by side?
- Compare holds two moments together under one remote: two guests on the same question, or the claim and the correction a week later.
- Can I put it in my show notes?
- Every Playback and every Cut has an embed code, so a show-notes page or a blog post can carry the moment itself rather than a timestamp to hunt for.
- I post clips of my show. What is the link for?
- Posting clips of the show? Share a Playback of the same moment and tick "For a clip you post". That link opens the exact moment inside the full episode on your own channel and keeps playing, so someone who wants the rest of the conversation gets it without scrubbing, and the view lands on your upload. Put it where links work: in the post itself on X, Threads, Reddit or Facebook, or in your bio on TikTok and Instagram (their captions, and Shorts descriptions, are not clickable). Your Playback page shows you, and only you, how many people came from a clip and how many kept watching.
- Is it OK to use someone else's YouTube video?
- Playback never downloads, copies or re-hosts a video. The video plays from YouTube's own player, on YouTube's terms, with YouTube's own ads. What Playback saves is a pointer: the video's ID, a start and end time, a speed, and your words. If the owner removes the video from YouTube, it stops playing here too.
