Hi, I used to embed videos to my product listings (via HTML), but now they are uploaded as shorts, and I can’t embed them.
Does anyone know how to upload Youtube shorts to a product listing?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you:)
Hi @khayam ,
I would suggest the following
-
Right click on the short video and click “copy embed code.”
-
Next, go to the product section in your Admin store.
-
Click the video button (see image below) under the product description and you can paste the embed code there.
Perfect! Thank you! ( i was looking at the three dots on the top right:() It worked- You made my day!
Hello,
To use a YouTube Short in your product listing, you usually cannot upload it directly from YouTube.
You can do one of the following:
-
Download the Short video to your device (using YouTube Studio or your original file).
-
Upload the video directly to your product listing through the platform’s media upload option.
Alternatively, you can copy the YouTube link and paste it in the product description or share it in messages, depending on the platform’s rules.
The instructions @made4Uo gave are the most acurate and still work today.
If you want to place your Shorts in-line with the rest of your description content, this is a great way to do it!
However, if you want the shorts displayed on your page in any other way, and want to include other stats from YouTube such as comment counts, like counts, etc., you’ll need an app.
I’ve recently released an app that can do all of this and more; you can display your shorts in unique ways on product pages such as in carousels, sticky corner videos, grids, etc. You can also highly customize how your videos are displayed on your pages. You don’t have to add any custom code to your theme, all you have to do is paste your YouTube video url!
Take a look and see if it fits your needs, I’m happy to answer any questions: UWidget: YouTube Widgets
