Add a YouTube Short

Pagecloud Classic does not recognize YouTube links that use /shorts/. Change /shorts/ to /embed/, keeping the same video ID.

For example:

• Original Shorts link: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vxPzXqh6n50
• Link to paste into Pagecloud: https://www.youtube.com/embed/vxPzXqh6n50

1. Copy the Short’s URL from YouTube.
2. Replace /shorts/ with /embed/ as shown above. If the URL has a ? followed by sharing parameters, leave those parameters out.
3. Add the converted link:
   • On a page: Paste it onto the page in the Classic editor, or into the YouTube app’s URL field, using either method above.
   • In a blog post: On a new line in the blog editor, click +, select Add video, paste the converted link and click Add.
4. Save your page or post, then preview it to check that the video loads.

Use /embed/ for the video player, not /shorts/. Changing the link does not change the video itself.
