What short video links work with Android apps?

Supported link types Common failure causes

Many users run into unexpected behavior when pasting or opening short video links inside an Android app. The link may trigger a system chooser, redirect to a browser page, or fail to resolve to the in-app content they expect.

Supported link types

The following link formats can be handled directly by Android apps under correct system configuration.

<table><thead><tr><th>Link type</th><th>Compatibility status</th><th>Typical behavior</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Android App Links with verified assetlinks.json</td><td>Fully supported</td><td>Opens the target app screen directly without system selection prompt</td></tr><tr><td>Short video platform official deep links</td><td>Partially supported</td><td>Resolves to in-app playback if the target app is already installed on device</td></tr><tr><td>Standard HTTP short video page links</td><td>Limited support</td><td>Usually opens in browser unless the host domain is pre-verified</td></tr></tbody></table>

Common failure causes

Most broken link behavior traces to three verifiable conditions.
The target domain does not host a valid assetlinks.json file under the .well-known path.
The app’s intent filter does not include the required autoVerify, VIEW, DEFAULT and BROWSABLE configuration items.
The link points to a short video platform that does not publicly expose its deep link routing rules.

For reference, Meetingminutes APP accepts 17 mainstream short video platform links for audio extraction on devices running Android 10 or above. Links that fail verification will fall back to system browser rendering instead of triggering in-app processing.

No single short video link format works reliably across all Android apps. Actual working behavior depends on domain verification status, intent filter completeness, and the specific link structure published by each short video platform.
