How to keep your latest YouTube video link updated on Linktree
Add your permanent link as a normal Linktree button. latestyoutu.be/@yourhandle never changes, so the button always opens your newest upload and you never edit your Linktree after publishing a video.
Add the button to your Linktree
Create your link
Type your YouTube handle into the field above and tap Copy. It is free and needs no account.
Open your Linktree
Sign in to Linktree. From My Linktree, select Edit.
Add a link
On the Links tab, select + Add and paste your link into the URL field.
Give the button a title
Enter a Title such as “Watch my latest video”: it is the text on the button. Then pick the Classic or Featured layout.
Check it once
Open your Linktree and tap the button: it opens your newest video. After your next upload it opens that one.
Details worth knowing
Works on the free plan
This is a normal link, so it works on every Linktree plan, including Free.
Open in the YouTube app
If your Linktree sits in your Instagram bio, visitors open it inside Instagram’s built-in browser. Switch on ?app above and they get an “Open in the YouTube app” button: one tap opens the video in the app, where they are signed in.
A second button for Shorts or live
Add another link that ends with ?shorts for your newest Short, or with ?live for your livestream.
Two sets of numbers
Linktree counts the clicks on its button. Your stats page at latestyoutu.be/stats/@yourhandle counts the opens of the link from every place you use it.
Other ways to do it
Linktree’s own latest-video option
On the Pro and Premium plans, a YouTube Video link offers Always use channel’s latest video, and it can play the video right on your Linktree. If you are on one of those plans, that is a good fit. On Free and Starter, the permanent link above does the job.
Changing the button by hand
You can edit the button’s URL after every upload. That works, but it is one more chore, and the button is out of date whenever you forget.
