Javascript Q: Annotate.tv/Stream Deck/Keyboard Maestro

Questions & Suggestions
1

Hello, I'm trying to run this script:

javascript:(function()%7Bconst url = String(window.location); if (!url.includes('youtube')) %7B alert ('Use this bookmark on a YouTube tab, please.'); return; %7D open('https://annotate.tv/new?url=%27 + url); %7D)()

I don't know if there is something I need to remove or add to the above script?

Basically, I want to press a button on my Elgato Stream Deck, when I begin to watch a YouTube video and have it take me to Annotate.tv's site where I can take notes. Possible?

I chose Execute JavaScript in Google Chrome as the action and pasted the above.

Help?

It's essentially what this video is showing except I want the bookmark to be a button on my Stream Deck:

Hey Dom,

Why run JavaScript when Keyboard Maestro native actions will do the job?

Keyboard Maestro can handle this sort of stuff with ease, and you don't have to understand JavaScript.

On the other hand – if you just must use JavaScript then it'd be something close to this:

(() => {

   const url = String(window.location);
   if ( ! url.includes('youtube') ) {
      alert ('Use this bookmark on a YouTube tab, please.');
      return;
   }

   open('https://annotate.tv/new?url=' + url);

})();

I had to turn OFF pop-up blocking for YouTube in Google Chrome for this script to work, and I can't completely verify it due to the log-in necessary at Annotate.tv.

I guess no particular reason that I have to use JavaScript... Just the way it was on Annotate.tv's website...

I still have a lot of digging to do in Keyboard Maestro.

Thank you for your help!
