Föderation EN Di 06.08.2024 21:25:15 If you're posting a link to YouTube and there isn't any embedded video appearing in the post, it's possibly because YouTube has started automatically putting a shortener (youtu.be) on its sharing links. To have a link that will embed properly in a Mastodon etc post, use the full version of the YouTube video's address which begins youtube.com (instead of youtu.be). You can get this full version from the address bar of your web browser when you're watching the video. |

I've just been messaging with someone who cannot get the full length address to work for some videos on their server, but the same addresses work on my server. I'm mainly posting about the shortener because removing it has worked for some people, and it's worth a try. (Plus removing shorteners will help protect your privacy in any case.) |
