YouTube Shorts support #59

Closed jj0e closed 9 months ago

jj0e commented 10 months ago

Are embeds for YouTube shorts currently supported? I tried to use the existing YouTubeEmbed component which a YouTube shorts url and it does not load the video.

Hey @jj0e! I'm using react-youtube under the hood for YT embeds, not sure if that library supports shorts yet. Will look into adding support for this when I have a chance. Might need to build out a separate embed component if they're a different beast.

@jj0e I've added support for YouTube Shorts. Just use the link to any YouTube Shorts video and it'll embed now.

You can see the demo here.

Shorts are 9:16, so be sure to specify a width and height in that aspect ratio, such as 225x400.

npm i react-social-media-embed@latest
