⚠️ Use Residential Proxies!

This Actor requires RESIDENTIAL proxies for reliable operation. Datacenter proxies will almost always trigger YouTube's "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" verification, causing views to fail.

🏠 Residential Proxies 🏢 Datacenter Proxies
Bot Detection ✅ Very Low ⚠️ Higher Risk
Success Rate ✅ High ⚠️ Moderate
View Quality ✅ More likely counted ⚠️ May be filtered
Trust Level ✅ Real home IPs ⚠️ Known datacenter ranges
Recommendation ✅ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ⚠️ Use with caution

💡 Pro Tip: Always use residential proxies when available for maximum effectiveness and legitimacy. --- ## 🎯 Overview Unlike other automation tools, this Actor captures screenshots of each visit so you can verify the video actually loaded and started playing. You get visual proof for every automated visit!

### What It Does - 🌐 Opens YouTube videos in automated browsers - ▶️ Plays videos for your chosen duration - 📸 **Captures screenshots** as proof of playback - 🖱️ Simulates human-like behavior (mouse movements, scrolling, pausing)
### What Makes It Different - 📸 **Screenshot proof** of every visit - 🎭 **Unique browser fingerprints** per session - 🌐 **IP rotation** via proxy support - 🤖 **Auto-retry** on bot detection

--- ## ⚠️ Responsible Use

Please use this tool responsibly. This Actor is intended for educational and testing purposes.

📋 Usage Guidelines - ✅ Use only on your own content or with proper permission - ⚠️ Be aware that excessive automated activity may be detected by YouTube - 📜 Respect YouTube's Terms of Service and community guidelines - 🛡️ The creators of this tool are not responsible for how you choose to use it - 🚫 This tool is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to YouTube or Google
