Add YouTube videos to your page and play them right there

Until now, showing a review video or a Short meant linking out to YouTube. Now when you add a YouTube video to your page, visitors can watch it right there without leaving your page.

What it does

  • Tap to play: Your page shows the video thumbnail and a play button, and when visitors tap it, the YouTube player opens and plays right in place.
  • Shorts in portrait: A Shorts address shows in portrait, while regular videos and live streams show in landscape.
  • Automatic thumbnails: The thumbnail is fetched from YouTube when you save. You don't need to upload a picture.
  • Moving over brings videos too: When you move over from Inpock Link, the YouTube videos shown on your page come along too.

How to use it

  1. Under Pages in your dashboard, open the page and press Add product on the Products tab.
  2. Choose YouTube video under Product type.
  3. Paste the video's address into YouTube video URL. If the address works, it tells you right away whether it's a landscape video or a Short.
  4. Add a Title (optional) if you like, and press Add.

Good to know

  • It's available on every plan and counts toward your page's product limit.
  • Only YouTube videos work (videos, Shorts, and live streams). Playlists and videos from other services (Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and so on) can't be added.
  • To show a Short in portrait, enter its youtube.com/shorts/… address. The same Short entered as a watch?v= address shows in landscape.
  • If the thumbnail can't be fetched, the video shows as a plain card with just a play icon and the title, and the editor lets you know. Save again to fetch it again.
  • Each tap on the play button counts as a click for that video.
  • Videos can't be moved into a group or to another page. They're hidden on pages with Show product images only turned on.
  • Nothing loads from YouTube until a visitor taps play, so your page doesn't slow down. Only one video plays at a time on a page, and videos don't play in the editor preview.
