Hello @MelanyeP ,
Due to their nature, YouTube shorts aren't always embeddable in different video embedding functionalities. As with any video that isn't compatible with the embed.ly-coded video block, you're welcome to use one of the standard linking methods as a workaround:
Another potential workaround when it comes to adding a Shorts link to your video block is to replace the shorts/ part with watch?v= . For example https://youtube.com/shorts/J-mrNqVPEWM would instead be inserted as https://youtube.com/watch?v=J-mrNqVPEWM . This effectively forces the video into the normal YouTube video display on their site, rather than their newer made Shorts display, and works with the embed.ly functionality of the video block better. I was able to do this in my account with every shorts link I entered.
I've also had this problem & want to know if Constant Contact will work with YouTube on finding a way to get YouTube shorts to embed in their emails. Short form videos are more popular now.
The YouTube workaround William A. posted worked for us, but we ended up doing a 16:9 video and using it in our email instead of the square video that was in our YouTube shorts.
We’re here to help you grow. With how-to tutorials, courses, getting-started guides, videos and step-by-step instructions to start and succeed with Constant Contact.
