Grab the deep link syntax I reference in the video from here: https://foxandlens.com/blog/instagram-link-in-bio-for-youtube-vids

Let's face it - Instagram bio links suck for YouTubers. Sure, people can view your video in the horrible Instagram browser, but they can't interact with your video in meaningful ways without a bunch of extra steps to log in, making your YouTube video "link in bio" cross-promotion efforts virtually worthless. 

What if you could force the YouTube video links that you share on Instagram to open natively in YouTube's app, giving your audience a better experience and increasing the likelihood that people will like, comment, or subscribe? Well, after much research and testing, I've figured out a way via dynamic links (or deep links) using an intelligent link shortening and tracking tool that many YouTubers already pay for - Geniuslink - and I'll show you exactly how I did it in this video.
