We make plain, sourced diagrams about how clipping and sharing on YouTube has changed, starting with the April 2026 retirement of the viewer-side Clips feature. They're free for anyone to use.
If you're writing about this and need a clean visual, take what's useful. The only ask is a visible credit with a link back to segue.video.
Every figure traces to YouTube's own announcements. The notes under each one say exactly what it shows, so you can caption it accurately. Their native context is the retirement of YouTube Clips: a reference, the sourced record of the event they illustrate.
