Support Embedding YouTube Shorts and Clips

[Mindcephalon]

Use case or problem

From the help page, I see that I can embed YouTube videos and Tweets using markdown-style links. I tried doing the same with YouTube Clips

Proposed solution

I don’t know. Is it hard to support YouTube Clips?

Current workaround

I use iframe embed (HTML).

Hello

Does this work?

Not all videos can be embedded. It depends on the permissions given by the publisher of the video.

EDIT: I have tried a few clips and none of them can be embedded. Seemingly stopped by YouTube, I assume.

Indeed. I hunted for clips and none of the ones I tried worked. Down to YouTube, I think.

Use case or problem

1. Dragging a youtube URL into the canvas seems to default to a wide aspect ratio, regardless if the video is in portrait format (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoMlSB6ftQg)

2. Shorts aren’t supported (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OosjKFtoSqE) and result in a play button which gives an error
   
   
   
   
   

Proposed solution

1. The embedded video should autosize to it’s correct aspect ratio when added to the canvas

2. Shorts should be embedable, and also have the portrait aspect ratio.

Current workaround (optional)

1. It can be manually resized to eliminate the black bars
   

   

2. Right clicking and selecting “Reload page” gets you the short, but it’s not properly embedded. Re-opening the canvas requires repeating this process.
