Allow youtube clips to be embedded as videos rather than turned into links?

[Kai]

If you post a youtube link, it naturally becomes a embedded video, when you have a shared link of a clip for a video you found, it doesn't embed that into the clip video, instead its a link to said clip video.

I don't disagree.

You mean the shorts? Yeah, that would be great.

[Kai]

It's useful for when you wanna show something specific like bugs or glitches in a game, since some people don't get it in writing.

Discord lets you share said clip that came from a full video for instance, which will only let them see the part you clipped but gave a link to the full video. Plus the owner of the video also gets the views still.

No lie, this is a great suggestion

Don't see why this is not supported, but for now you can "convert" shorts to videos by replacing the "shorts/" part of the url with "watch?v=", like this

Except I'm not talking about youtube shorts? There's a bunch of videos that are pretty long with sections that people might want to clip, having them as shorts means stealing footage and reposting it.

I clipped a video and the url basically uses the /clip/ .

Nevermind then, i misunderstood. Sorry.

Use
|noparse|
|/noparse|

to not auto-link a url or do any text formatting.

Changing the url /clips/ into something else won't bypass it... I remember Steam used to have a actual youtube markup tag that we used to be able to use, before it became automatic.

It was something like [video] [/video]

You could go to the full video and create a link at the timestamp; I do believe the forum honors timestamps.

Forum does NOT honor timestamps. Chat might though.

Another feature that has been highly requested.
