Support links which redirect to the actual website with video. For example, when you copy a link in google search, you don't copy the actual link but something like https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=...&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D...&ved=...&usg=.... I can open the link and then copy it from address bar or copy the actual link from url parameter and replace the encoded characters with actual ones, but that takes some time.
additional context
The easy solution which comes to mind is to stop using google. And I'm not sure if adding this will affect security or something.

just copy the actual url, we cannot possibly support all possible redirectors
iirc there are extensions/userscripts that remove tracking from google search links, you might want to look into that if you don't want to change your search engine
