How it works
- 1
Copy the video address
dailymotion.com/video/… or a dai.ly short address.
- 2
Paste it and press Start
Both forms resolve to the same video.
- 3
Pick a height
Dailymotion publishes a ladder, usually up to 1080p.
Why dai.ly is accepted when t.co is not
Both are short links, and the difference is who owns them. dai.ly is Dailymotion’s own first-party form: it can only ever point at a Dailymotion video, so allowing it widens nothing. t.co and fb.watch are general redirectors that can point anywhere, and one of those inside a list of permitted sites makes the list meaningless.
Region locks are common here
Dailymotion enforces rights by country more than most platforms on this list. A video that plays for you may return nothing from our server, and occasionally the reverse. There is no setting that changes it — the restriction is applied at their end, before anything reaches us.
Frequently asked questions
Do dai.ly links work?
Yes. It is Dailymotion’s own short form, not a third-party redirector.
Why does a video fail for me but work for someone else?
Usually a country restriction on their side.
