How do I add a desktop link to a youtube video? Normally I can add a desktop link from Chrome by using "Add to Home screen".  However, when I click on a YouTube video, it automatically opens that video in my YouTube app rather than in Chrome.  Thus I no longer have an option to add something to my home screen.

Any ideas?

I am using: 
Android version 7.0 on a Samsung Galaxy S7
I found a way to do this! (It's a bit fiddly). 


Find your YouTube video
View the website in Desktop mode
Shorten the URL (using goo.gl)
Turn off Wi-Fi (so the shortened URL won't get to youtube.com)
Enter the shortened URL in your address bar on chrome
You should get a no internet error
Add that page to your home screen
Voila! Now enable Wi-Fi again and the icon will link to YouTube in your browser!
