Wix Editor: Issues Uploading YouTube Videos

1 min

If you are experiencing a problem with uploading a YouTube video, please check the information below.

Your video is set to Public. If your YouTube video is marked as Private, you cannot upload it to your Wix site. You can find your video's privacy settings on your video's Basic info tab in your YouTube account.
Embedding is enabled. This setting can be found on your video's Advanced settings tab in your YouTube account.
- It is not possible to embed YouTube Shorts URLs. To embed a YouTube Short, change "/shorts/" in the URL to "/watch?v="

Note:

Videos might not play automatically on iPhones/iPads as Apple blocks the autoplay function on their mobile devices. This is due to the fact that playing videos or music on a mobile device may incur additional data charges from the visitor's cellphone network. For more information, please see Apple's Safari Developer Library.
