The search for a method to verify the authenticity and original source of YouTube videos presents a significant challenge. This is particularly important for journalists, researchers, or individuals who wish to confirm the accuracy and origin of information from YouTube videos. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that such data is often hidden or difficult to ascertain. The lack of a user-friendly tool that can efficiently extract such data and thus contribute to the verification of the video's authenticity leads to further complications. In addition, it would be desirable to have a mechanism for detecting video inconsistencies that could indicate manipulation or fraudulent activities.

The tool "YouTube DataViewer" is used to solve existing problems. It searches and extracts hidden metadata from the YouTube URL, including the exact upload time of the video. This data is essential to verify the authenticity of the video and determine the original source. The entire process is designed to be user-friendly, so even individuals without a technical background can efficiently utilize the tool. An additional feature allows for the identification of inconsistencies in videos, which could indicate manipulation or fraudulent activities. The use of this tool significantly simplifies the validation of YouTube videos, a previously complex process. This makes YouTube DataViewer an indispensable tool for journalists, researchers and anyone who wants to verify the truthfulness and origin of YouTube videos.
