Embedding YouTube Shorts?

[Cheimoon]

YouTube now has so-called Shorts. (I don't know how new this really is, but I only noticed it this month.) It seems I can't embed those links here though. For example:

https://youtube.com/shorts/S5iqPF09xk0

This will only show up as a link, and if I try to embed it through the Media option, it says that this sort of link isn't supported. Is there a way to fix that?

It's a bit of a hassle, but if you remove "shorts/" and replace it with "watch?v=", then it will work.

Can we also add embedding for reels?

It's a bit of a hassle, but if you remove "/reel/" and replace it with "/p/", then it will work.

Great, thanks! I tried removing 'shorts' but forgot that YouTube video IDs don't follow straight after the home URL.

I never claimed I was up to date on anything.

• Right click on the video.
• You should see this menu...

• Select “Copy video URL”.
• Paste this URL in the insert media box, as usual.

Shorts are a really stupid feature. Even if you pay for youtube premium you can't play a short in the background or PIP on a phone.

Can't seem to get that menu on my phone app. Sorry!

Hmm, okay. Have you tried replacing “shorts” with “watch”, prior to copy + pasting the URL? That should do the trick, I think.

Yeah, that's what @Scandi Red said in the second reply.

Don't need the watch part, just replace shorts with v. It's a much better way of watching them too, so ideally any Shorts embedding would just turn them into regular youtube embeds.
