Hi Sunil,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Can you let me know what type of custom field you're using to add your video ?

Ideally you should be using the Embedded Media custom field type to add the youtube shorts URL to your site.

Thanks,
Shane

Hello,

I tried the embedded media on my end and it works fine with the short urls.

Would you mind allowing me to have admin access to the website so that I can have a more detailed look at this for you ?

Please where applicable please provide me with a link to an example page where I can see the issue.

I've enabled the private fields for your next response.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Sunil,

I understand the issue now.

It's the youtube video block that doesn't support the youtube shorts. I will escalate this to our 2nd tier team for them to make contact with our development team to improve this.

As a workaround you can use the single field block to load the video. I've already set this up at the link below.
