This is a server-side issue with our proxy, but I'm ok with tracking it here. TL;DR is that we're being rate-limited by YouTube.

I have the same issue in an inconsistent patterns in both the desktop and Android versions: sometimes it would work, other times it wouldn't. I was thinking of a censored connection, but running behind a VPN wouldn't fix the issue.

Here is the Android debugging log:

Works for me w v1.31.0.

@foss- for me too.

@scottnonnenberg-signal should this be closed?

Doesn't work for me on macOS, Signal v1.31.0

PS. Windows and Android still affected too

Stopped working here as well. Odd that it briefly worked and then stopped.

Linux, v1.31.0, does not work.

Not working here either on Linux, using Signal 1.32.1.

Not working Linux v1.32.3 or on my phone (Signal 4.58.5) Android

Not working on Linux v1.31.0 or on my phone (Signal 3.7.1.0) iOS

A reminder, from up-thread. Unless you're seeing different behavior between your devices, this is a known server problem.

Is it still broken in v1.39.5? That version has this fix:
"Fix link previews for YouTube Music "

I believe this has been fixed, so I'm going to close.

Yes, confirmed!
