Now that everyone is using SmartPhone to capture portrait (vertical) videos, YouTube has finally jumped on the bandwagon by rolling out YouTube Shorts. But unlike other social media video sites, YouTube has deliberately kept YouTube shorts separate from it's traditional landscape (horizontal) videos. It's as if YouTube is deliberately testing the waters on portrait videos.
There are some differences between YouTube videos and YouTube Shorts videos. One difference, relevant to this article, that we'd like to point out is that YouTube provides a method to embed traditional landscape video in your web page, whereas YouTube Shorts doesn't provide that capability for the newer portrait video.
