This article explains how to post a YouTube video to the Snapchat application using an Android device. For many YouTubers, one of the best ways to let their followers know that they have posted a new video is to show a preview and make the link available. The good news is that Snapchat has a feature that makes this process a lot easier.
Steps

You can search for videos by pressing on the magnifying glass symbol in the top right corner of the application and typing relevant keywords. Once you have located the video you are interested in in the search results, click on it to open it.

Step 3. Click on the Share button
Once you find the video you want to post, select the "Share" option, which is located directly below the title. The "Share" icon looks like a gray arrow pointing right.
If you intend to access the video using a browser, you can copy the link by pressing the address bar with your finger and selecting "Copy" from the menu that appears
Step 4. Click on the Copy link option
Once you have clicked on the "Share" button, a series of options will appear. Select "Copy link", which should be the first option, with an icon that looks like a duplicate sheet of paper.
