	It is highly recommended ~~that you use [https://cobalt.tools cobalt] to download videos from~~ other ~~platforms as it~~ is ~~privacy-respecting and very easy to use. The [https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp yt-dlp] project can also be used as an alternative~~ for ~~downloading~~ YouTube videos.		There are two ways to permalink a video or anything else on the wiki. First is through IPFS (highly recommended) and the other is with PreserveTube (for YouTube videos). This page provides instructions for both.

			<tabber>IPFS=
			Because regular IPFS uploads don't function reliably, pinata.cloud is used instead since it offers free storage and straightforward file uploads.

			\|-\|PreserveTube=
			'''PreserveTube''' can be used as an alternative if you prefer not to download [[YouTube]] videos. However, it could be discontinued at any time and should not be considered fully reliable.
