Hi everyone! 😊

This week’s discussion is about one of the things which is often used to share favorite songs, inspirational and kind quotes, and informative and educational videos on 7 Cups.

Yes, I’m talking about YouTube 😀

Now you might be wondering if YouTube links are allowed on 7 Cups? The answer is, yes, certain types of YouTube links are perfectly okay to share in 7 Cups

We can share YouTube videos and shorts in 1-1 chats, group chats and forums, along with its title and/or channel name, because some people might be wary of clicking on links. By knowing the title and the channel of the YouTube link, they can easily search up the video to watch it for themselves.
