Issues trying to embed a YT video (short format)

Description

Hello everyone.

I'm writing an article for my personal blog that runs with Quarto and Github Pages, but I've encountered a problem: when I try to upload a YouTube video (in Short format, i.e. the vertical formats of less than a minute), the video is not displayed, but the message appears: No compatible source was found for this media.

I am using the next line:

{{< video https://youtube.com/shorts/sXGMBHrAwYM >}}

I'm sure this is not Quarto's issue, but mine for not using the correct syntax, but I haven't found what the correct syntax might be. Thank you.

See the documentation for supported formats: https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/videos.html

If the team validates the following PR, this format should be supported in the next release:

• feat: Add support for YouTube Shorts in video shortcode #12811

Thanks for the prompt reply. I found a way to embed the video correctly.

First, I changed the URL from https://youtube.com/shorts/sXGMBHrAwYM to https://www.youtube.com/embed/sXGMBHrAwYM. Then, I inserted the following HTML code (inside a {=html} chunk of course):

<div style="text-align:center;">
  <iframe width="315" height="560"
  src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sXGMBHrAwYM"
  frameborder="0"
  allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
