TimeTube

TimeTube is a specialized tool that allows users to visualize and explore the complete video history of any YouTube channel on an interactive timeline. Our platform transforms the way you discover and analyze content, providing a unique perspective on how channels evolve over time.

TimeTube uses the YouTube Data API to fetch video information from channels. When you enter a YouTube channel name or URL, our system identifies the channel and retrieves its upload playlist. We then fetch all available videos from that playlist (up to 5,000 most recent videos), organize them chronologically, and display them on an interactive timeline.

Yes, TimeTube is completely free to use. We don't charge any fees for accessing our service. We may display ads to support the operation of the site, but these don't affect the functionality of our tool.

No, you don't need to create an account to use TimeTube. Our service is open to everyone without requiring registration or login.

TimeTube is limited to displaying up to 5,000 videos per channel for performance and API usage reasons. This limit ensures that the site remains responsive and that we can efficiently manage our API quota. For channels with more videos, we show the 5,000 most recent ones.

There are several reasons why a channel might not load:

• The channel is set to private or has content restrictions
• The channel name or URL was entered incorrectly
• YouTube's API has rate limits that we occasionally hit
• The channel has no public videos

If you're having trouble with a specific channel, try using different formats (like the full URL or @username) to search for it.

Data is cached for 24 hours to improve performance and reduce API calls. This means that newly uploaded videos might not appear immediately on TimeTube. If you need the most current data, try again in 24 hours or refresh the page after that time.

Yes, TimeTube is fully responsive and works on mobile devices, tablets, and desktops. The interface automatically adjusts to provide the best experience on your device.

We collect minimal information to operate our service, including IP addresses for rate limiting and basic analytics. We don't collect personal information unless you voluntarily provide it. For more details, please review our Privacy Policy.

No, TimeTube doesn't store any videos or content from YouTube. We only fetch and display metadata (titles, descriptions, thumbnails, etc.) from the YouTube Data API. When you play a video, it's embedded directly from YouTube's servers.

We're continuously working to improve TimeTube. If you encounter any bugs or issues, please be patient as we work to identify and fix them. You can check back periodically for updates.

We're always looking to improve TimeTube. While we don't currently have a formal channel for feature suggestions, we appreciate your interest in helping make TimeTube better.
