Embedding youtube shorts

[Somewhatfoolish]

I'd like to make a thread about this fun technique, but [youtube] doesn't work as it's a short: https://youtube.com/shorts/KUyew-BwSNM?si=1azmLo5R... - wat do?

Nope doesn't work for me and never has with shorts! Well it doesn't show as a vid on my laptop but just a link to it. Also I can only see OP's post as a link Happy to find a solution though

And Or has helpfully demo'd it (you can see the source if you quote him) - change https://youtube.com/shorts/KUyew-BwSNM to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUyew-BwSNM and it should work.

IE

a) put a www in front of youtube
b) change /shorts/ to /watch?v=

So now I just need to get around to creating that thread...

(Would be sensible for the forum to be upgraded to cope with this to but I think it's more or less running on cobol, so idk if that will happen )
