Shorts/reels previews.

[fumanchu182]

I know a lot of the newer content is shorts or reels. Is there a plugin for the site that will allow us to preview that content like a regular YouTube video? Will donate if the plugin costs money.

Most Shorts are 30ish seconds long, are you asking for a preview of that?

sorry let me rephrase, the embed capability so it doesn’t take you off site

Right, didn't realize until I tried it, like this above is just a plain link and doesn't embed the video here like a regular Youtube link would.

got it, maybe not pretty but change 'shorts' to 'embed' in the url and you get a youtube window.

Thank you for the work around! Is there a way to automate this, sometimes YouTube doesn't let you choose short vs normal video based on vertical position or time. Shorts can go up to 60s and Instagram now makes all videos reels by default.

@HellcatFan Do we have a help page about what social media can be integrated. I do all three, Rumble, Youtube and IG. I know we support Youtube but I don't see anything or Rumble or IG (would this use FB embeds?), is this something I can fund with a donation if a plugin needs to be sourced or purchased?

I think by default the forum supports Youtube and IG. I'm not sure about Rumble.

Do you know what the tags are for IG? I post there more than YouTube now a days.

Can you post the URL and we can see what it looks like?

Still looking into this...evidently Instagram blocked embedding for forums back in 2021.

If only we could block IG from the internet 😂

No one wants to see you in shorts.
