Pro tips
- Max resolution (maxresdefault) is available for most videos but may fall back to hqdefault for older content.
- Thumbnail images are 16:9 — ideal for use as preview cards in blog posts and newsletters.
- Use thumbnails only for personal, editorial, or research purposes; commercial reuse requires creator permission.
