<h3 id="preferred"><a href="#preferred">Preferred Instances</a></h3>
<p>To go from a current instance you are using to your preferred or favorite instance, it is explained as follows. For example, assume that you receive a piped link shared to you which is of the instance <a href="https://piped.mha.fi">piped.mha.fi</a> but you want to use your favorite instance that is <a href="https://piped.video">piped.video</a>, The Official instance. It will be a hassle to change the particular part of domain if there is a lot of similar links which may become a big discomfort for you.
</p>
<p>To avoid that hassle you can redirect to your favorite instance within few clicks, just two !!, just open the popup menu and click the reload button near the frontend. In this case, YouTube. Voila !, you have reached your destination.</p>

<p> Below is a small demo of this feature. Note that, Switching to favorite instance by clicking the reload button works depsite the redirection for the frontend is turned off or on.</p>

<p><b>Note : </b> Some frontends may not have this feature. But the popular and mostly used ones do have them. We will try to expand the functionality if it is feasible.</p>
