Smart Links can now lead with a YouTube video instead of static artwork. The link page still keeps the streaming destinations close by, while video plays become part of the Smart Link analytics picture.
What changed
- Added YouTube URL support to Smart Link media settings.
- Added an embedded video hero to the public Smart Link page.
- Kept streaming service buttons visible below the video.
- Counted video plays alongside Smart Link click activity.
- Tightened validation so artists can preview the link before sharing it.
Why it matters
Some campaigns are built around a video, not only a track or album page. A video-first Smart Link gives artists one destination for watching, listening, and promotion.
