How do I save HackerTube videos?

Use Watch later to bookmark a video in the original HackerTube interface. Select the clock button on a thumbnail or the Watch later control on a video page, then open Watch later in the navigation. Saving a record does not download the video.

How do I find saved HackerTube videos?

Return to the same browser and profile and choose Watch later. The client marks saved items with a check indicator. Selecting the control again removes an item. Likes and History are separate lists, so a liked item is not necessarily in Watch later.

Why did my saved HackerTube videos disappear?

The list is browser-local, not account-synchronized. Check the domain, profile and private-window status first. Clearing website storage can remove it, and the interface has no account recovery flow. Preserve important URLs as bookmarks before clearing anything. Saving does not ensure the underlying upload stays available.
