Paste the link
Works the same everywhere, including on desktop.
Tap Share on the video, then Copy Link.
Open Prepful, then go to Recipes > Add > Import Recipe.
Paste the link and tap Import Recipe.
Review the recipe, then save it to your library.
Works best when the recipe is spoken, shown on-screen, or listed in the video description.
If it doesn't work
A few things stop an import: the video is private or unlisted with restricted access, the recipe is never actually stated (just shown as a finished dish), or the video's been removed. If a link fails, check that the video is public and the ingredients or steps are actually said or shown somewhere in it.
