Things I Learned: Embedding YouTube Shorts

 For me at least, there's no embed button on the share tab for YouTube shorts. I figured out how to get the videos in anyway.

Step 1:

Start with an embed iframe from any of your videos that aren't shorts. For example:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/idZ80-7WR4w?si=CFqyqDeqzq24OLVh" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Then, grab the web link to your short from the sharing tab that you can access

For example:

https://youtube.com/shorts/5D1Bue0KSss?si=3MnCtoyuuxqOJbdh

Copy the portion of the link that follows 'shorts/'. In the above example, you'd copy:

5D1Bue0KSss?si=3MnCtoyuuxqOJbdh

Paste it into your usual iframe over the portion o the link that follows 'embed/' like so:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5D1Bue0KSss?si=3MnCtoyuuxqOJbdh" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Now, plop your iframe for your short wherever you like!

Update: You might also  want to update the size of the player specified in the iframe. I like using 480 for width and 640 for height as shown here:
