I sometimes share youtube shorts with my wife, and I always edit the url so it plays in the default video mode instead of the shorts interface

    Asking for a friend, how do you do this?

    Instead of https://www.youtube.com/shorts/<xxx>, do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v<xxx>
    There is an equals sign (=) between v and , but for some reason lemmy keeps removing it

    You can also use https://www.youtube.com/v/<xxx>. It's the old video link structure, but it still works just fine. It's easier to change it too, since a lot of devices can select text by the word.
