Homepage video link will not accept my YouTube link address

[Bougieboard]

Can someone please help me?

I created a video on YouTube I would like to add to my homepage.

I enter the YouTube address. And Shopify does not accept it, says it’s not a complete address. 
This is exactly what it says:

“This link is invalid. Try pasting a complete YouTube/Vimeo link”

this is the link I am trying to add:

https://youtube.com/shorts/4IRw58sfy2M?feature=share

my theme is narrative. 

can anyone help me?

i have the same issue and i think its because its a shorts video.. but not sure how to fix this

[BoringRose]

How were you able to view the "shorts" video as a normal YouTube video to get the full link? Looks like lots of people have this same issue. Thanks!

Hi,

I have the same problem. I think that is because it is a shorts YouTube video and does not recognize the new URL for shorts.🙄 I try to find info in Google and Shopify help and noting.

HI,

GOOD NEWS, I found how to insert the YouTube Shorts in the product page or in Shopify. Just make this small change to the video link. I show you an example:

Original video link: https://youtube.com/shorts/iZT9jxbke98

Modified link: https://youtube.com/watch?v=iZT9jxbke98

You just have to change this: shorts/ for this: watch?v=

That's all! 😀

nice! thank you!

I am having the same issue
my link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xZyIkGkgUc

However it comes up find on the editing side bar, but does not load to the main website. Any advice?

I FIGURED IT OUT! with the help of youtube. You just replace "short" in the URL with "watch" - but then you have to put that into a browser and then recopy the link.
