Mirror a YouTube Video with a Bookmarklet

For tech-savvy users, you can create a bookmarklet to mirror a YouTube video in your browser. Bookmarklets are small JavaScript snippets stored as bookmarks. They can quickly mirror videos without the need for extensions or online tools.

Mirror a YouTube Video with a Bookmarklet

Below are the steps of how to mirror a YouTube video by creating a bookmarklet.

  1. Open your browser and create a new bookmark.
  2. Copy and paste the following JavaScript code into the URL section.
  3. javascript:(function()%7Bdocument.body.appendChild(document.createElement(%27script%27)).src%3D%27https%3A%2F%2Frawgit.com%2Famacfie%2FMirrorYouTubeVideos%2Fmaster%2FMirror_HTML5_Video.js%27%3B%7D)()%3B
  4. Name the bookmarklet and then save it.
  5. Visit YouTube and play the video you want to mirror.
  6. Click on the bookmark to mirror the video.

Note:

The above bookmarklet will try to load a script from rawgit.com, which unfortunately will shut down. Once the website goes down or the specific file is removed, the JavaScript bookmarklet will no longer work. Also, it might not work with other video sites like Vimeo, Instagram, etc. It only works for video elements in HTML5.

If the above doesn't work, try to create the bookmarklet with the following revised script.

javascript:(function(){var node=document.createElement('style');document.body.appendChild(node);window.addStyleString=function(str){node.innerHTML=str;};var cssText=".xflip {-moz-transform:scale(-1,1) !important; -webkit-transform:scale(-1,1) !important; -o-transform:scale(-1,1) !important; transform:scale(-1,1) !important; filter:FlipH !important;};";addStyleString(cssText);var numberOfVideos=document.getElementsByTagName("video").length;if(numberOfVideos>=1){var video;for(var i=0;i<numberOfVideos;++i){if(document.getElementsByTagName("video")[i].videoHeight>100){video=document.getElementsByTagName("video")[i];video.classList.toggle('xflip');break;}}}})();

Compared to desktop users, mobile users face different challenges when it comes to YouTube screen mirroring. It's cumbersome to mirror a YouTube video in a mobile browser using bookmarklets or plug-ins. Luckily, websites like MirrorTheVideo offer a straightforward solution.
