Solved: Videos in email - link to YouTube not working - Constant Contact Community

MimiL121 · ‎10-25-2022

When I paste in my YouTube video link I see a message from CC:

Oops! We can't find that link. Check the URL or reach out to our support team for more information. See screenshot. But the link works when I paste it in my browser. It is the exact link I'm getting from Youtube. Could you please let me know how I can fix?

Hello @MimiL121 ,

At this time, Shorts are not compatible with the video block. While our devs continue to work on addressing this, I'd recommend using the image link alternative to accomplish the same task with it.
