You can display them instead of YouTube comments or next to them. +Invidious does not use any official YouTube API, so it does not violate any terms of service. It also provides a developer API that can be used by others. + ## Invidious Instances See [Invidious Instances](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/wiki/Invidious-Instances) for a full list of publicly available instances.
