You can also manually create entries in InfoFlow:

Integrations
InfoFlow integrates with several popular services:
Twitter/X
Save threads and tweets directly to InfoFlow. Login in advanced settings required: Settings
-> Advanced Settings
-> Website Login
-> Enter https://x.com
to sign into your account.
Why
Since the privitizaiton of Twitter/X, crawling its contents from the public internet is not really working. We must have a signed in status for download data from Twitter.
For InfoFlow Cloud users with paid subscriptions, we're working on a solution to make it work directly. Please contact our support team if you'd like to participate in early-stage tests.

- Tap the "Share" button below the video.
- Look for "InfoFlow" in the list of apps and tap it.
- If you don't see InfoFlow directly, you might need to tap "More" or swipe to find it.
- InfoFlow will capture the video link, and you can then confirm to save it to your library. You may have options to add tags or save to a specific collection.
Method 2: Copying and Pasting the Link (Desktop and Mobile)
- Open YouTube in your web browser or the YouTube app.
- Find the video you want to save and copy its URL.
- In a browser, you can copy the URL from the address bar.
- In the YouTube app, tap "Share" and then "Copy link".
- Open the InfoFlow app.
- Look for an "Add" or "+" button, or a dedicated section for adding new content.
- Paste the YouTube video URL into the appropriate field.
- Confirm to save the video. InfoFlow will fetch the video details and add it to your library.
Once saved, you can typically find your YouTube videos in your InfoFlow library, where you can watch them, organize them into collections, and add notes. Some videos might be available for offline viewing if InfoFlow supports this feature.
