Trying to save YouTube video metadata using YouTube's "Share" on Android.

I'm new to Zotero, so please forgive me if I'm missing something obvious.

I have YouTube and Zotero installed on my Android phone and I'm trying to save video references with metadata. I haven't found any connectors or adapters or plugins for this.

Using the YouTube app's "Share" feature works once, but just once. The result looks like this:

Notice it has the video title, the creator, etc.

First question is, is this the right way to do this?

Even if it's not, I thought I found something that worked, until I tried again.

Subsequent attempts to "Share" a video to Zotero just gets the URL with no other metadata. Zotero just thinks it's a web page:

I tried Force Stopping each app, and both apps together, to try and get things back into a state where it works, with no luck. If I stop using the apps for several hours, it'll work once, but then it's back in the bad state.

Android version: 16
YouTube version: 21.13.163
Zotero version: 1.0.0-229
