It would be nice if YouTube Shorts automatically embedded, like normal YouTube links currently do. Right click on almost any video and select "Copy embed code" to see how it can be done. For speedrun moderation this gives the added benefit of moving frame-by-frame in a video, making retiming a lot easier for games without an in-game timer.

you could replace the youtube.com/shorts of the url with youtube.com/watch to make it easier to see

Submit a support ticket and report it lol

But I agree - and also that links which don't embed should be an actual hyperlink instead of normal text

Oh wow, looks like someone noticed this and added the embedding! Also before I was using a browser extension to redirect youtube.com/shorts to youtube.com/watch (for re-timing and verifying runs) but now that just happens automatically in embeds. Probably wasn't a huge change behind the scenes, but still greatly appreciated, thanks!
