Description
What happened?
I wanted to embed a youtube short in a block, so i used the same {{video}} code as one does for regular videos.
However, unlike regular videos, it doesn't work quite right:
- a bunch of other page content and videos appear
- no way to control the playback (no pause, unpause, seek, or volume controls)
- if you scroll down, then back up, the video doesn't render at all (but sound still plays)
Reproduce the Bug
Put this in a block:
{{video https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FYAdAI1NE28}}
Expected Behavior
similar experience as a regular youtube video
Screenshots
first view:
after scrolling down in the video panel, then back up:

Research direction
Start from the {{video}} embed handling and reproduce the issue with https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FYAdAI1NE28 in a block. Compare the short's behavior with a regular YouTube video; done means the short renders after scrolling and provides normal playback controls without unrelated content or videos.
