How to embed a YouTube/Vimeo link to Showell

For example: If you click an embedded video link in Showell App, only the video itself (not the whole YouTube page) will open inside Showell. This means quicker opening and faster playback time!

💡Note:

When using the Showell Native apps, we highly recommend to embed YouTube/Vimeo videos. Because when you add a regular link (URL) from a video to your Showell account, it will open the whole webpage and not just the video.

However, when using Showell App for Web, videos will be automatically embedded using the regular link (URL).
