This is annoying. It was that i could just paste in a youtube link, or uf its a short i swap the work short for embed, and the vid would be ebeded in the page. This seems to have stopped. I dunno why. > [@Hark back to my first project to use Cycles](https://blenderartists.org/t/hark-back-to-my-first-project-to-use-cycles/1649418): > > A lot of this I would now use Geonodes for.

Same thing happened to me, but I recently changed OS (and haven’t finished fixing it yet), so I was checking to see if the problem was on my side. ---

Hmm.. that’s weird.. i just included this video and position: > [@Recreating Nenghuo Tutorial in Blender 5](https://blenderartists.org/t/recreating-nenghuo-tutorial-in-blender-5/1638774/4): > > This may be this one at that position..

It works with shorts as well. Its silly that you now have to add www like its 2004, but at least it works. Something in the combination of youtube and … is it discord [blenderartists.org](http://blenderartists.org) is built on? is broken. ---

If YouTube changes their own behaviour also in “publishing” the wrong URL at least according to thumbnail generation then Discourse only can change it too.. > **[Where Tech Companies Build Communities](https://www.discourse.org)** > > The customizable, scalable community platform powering over 22,000 communities. Create knowledge through conversation. ..and than change it when YT changes it again.. and then.. It’s somekind of dependency “we” sometime in the future have to pay for.. 🤔 oh wait there is YT+/premium already !? 😜 ---
