Feature Request: Add support for Youtube Shorts embeds #57881

Open

Description

What

Add embed support for YouTube Shorts

Why

This is a new format that YouTube seems to be offering. As noted here it's still in beta and I do not see an oembed or iframe option available at this time: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/10059070

Opening this now as a placeholder so we can explore how support can be added (I note they already support Tumblr out of the gate for example)

How

No response

Workaround

Make the Shorts video url into a regular video url, by replacing shorts/ with watch?v=, for example:
