Firsts and Shorts

[pgn]

Did you know YouTube's first video was about elephants?

It has a URL that the Community forum recognises, and which can be embedded, via the Forum Camera icon (on Desktop!) as above.

As the eponymous video service competes with the likes of TikTok and other mobile-only video content of 60secs or less duration, it has started a new section, called YouTube Shorts.

Sadly, the forum video camera button cannot understand the typical Shorts URL, and refuses to embed a Shorts video: https://youtube.com/shorts/Kp0HfCXmEUU

• Any chance, forum managers @Martin-O2 or @RafaC or @lewys-gp of adding this Shorts format to the video types that the forum will "embed"?

Needless to say, I can watch it  on PC using Chrome. @pgn 

However Chrome is NOT my default browser, nor will it ever be. So anything looked at needs to include 'use on all browsers' and not just Chrome.
