[Support request] Embed YouTube video on category description

[Almog]

Hi
I want to embed a YouTube video on my category description page, and When I pasted the URL or embed code in the editor, I see the video. But on the page itself it just shows the code or it doesn’t show anything.

Is there a way to enable YouTube embedding for a category page?

Hi Almog,

How are you embedding it? Are you using an Element? Also, are what Block/code are you using to embed it?

Can you provide the link to this category page?

[Almog]

this is in the category description, so you cant use an element there.
I tried to put the link as is, I tried to embed it, and all the combinations.

Instead of asking me questions, just tell me how to do it in the description box…

Are you placing the link here?: https://share.getcloudapp.com/jkuWnw5Z

Can you share the link to the page in question so we have an idea how you’re trying to implement this?

I added it in 3 different ways: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E9G1LIhq5_o37snxz-R-qBk4apFLoIA2/view?usp=sharing

this is the result: https://www.acoustical.co.il/%d7%a7%d7%98%d7%92%d7%95%d7%a8%d7%99%d7%95%d7%aa-%d7%9e%d7%a8%d7%9b%d7%96%d7%99%d7%95%d7%aa/

I see. Thank you for clarifying.

As a workaround try the following:

1. Go to this site:
https://embedresponsively.com

2. Add your YouTube URL and click Embed. And copy the code it provides

3. On your site create a new Block Element, add a HTML Block and paste the code in.

4. Set the hook to before_footer for instance.

5. Set the display rule to your preference.

is there a way to embed it inside the content description box?

Hi there,

with your original method off adding the embed try using the full YouTube URL – and NOT the shortened youtub.be
