Hi @Shopify_77 ,

I opened a ticket (29889445) a while ago but have heard nothing since, are you planning to update your YouTube handling in the product page to support their new ‘Short’ url format?

Standard YouTube videos share a url as follows:

https://youtu.be/WAQaBc4Tl_I

But the new ‘Shorts’ format videos are shared using:

https://youtube.com/shorts/veZHfjGZ86Y

or

https://youtube.com/shorts/veZHfjGZ86Y?feature=share

These open in their new style player if you visit the page, similar to TikTok. But If you manually alter the link to match the old style:

https://youtu.be/veZHfjGZ86Y

They will work again and play in a normal player or more importantly are understood by Shopify.

Can we get a fix for this to turn the new format into the old? It will save having to muck around changing the link everytime I use a ‘Short’ on my site.

Thanks, Andy
