【Help】About Video IDs

March 18th, 2026

On Intersection, YouTube video IDs are converted to an 8-digit number with "sm" added at the beginning. These are not actual niconico video IDs. They are simply converted so the app will accept them, and when information about a video with a converted video ID is requested, Intersection will find the stored YouTube video ID associated with the converted ID. You can find the original YouTube video ID in the link in video descriptions.
