When is the yt preview visible on blenderartists.org?

I sometimes have the problem, that if i post a yt link, that the preview isn’t shown like here:

At least i cannot see it using Chrome on a Macbook. How can i make sure that the preview will be shown? In most cases it works, but sometimes it doesn’t.

Does anyone have a clue about that?

Hi there,
I moved your post to Blender Artists Website Support, since it is better suited there.
In answer to your original question, Blender Artists can’t preview YT Shorts using the default link, instead you have to modify the URL you post. You can use the following syntax https://www.youtube.com/embed/[VIDEO_ID]

For example for your video it would be https://www.youtube.com/embed2XF_pXb9FIQ

I think it should them embed, @Helge has some experience with doing this.

There is another thread about it here:

thank you very much!! Works great!

Just wondering why sometimes copying the “normal” link works… :wink: but anyway …just using your solution now

Normal YT videos are supported, but shorts aren’t.
