# Youtube Content

> Embed Youtube videos via URL without uploading the video itself.

The content type **Youtube Content** embeds a Youtube video directly via its URL. Unlike [Videos](/docs/en/dynamic-content/user-guide/inhaltsarten/videos), you do not need to upload your own video file.

## Selecting the content type

In the editor of a page, shopping world, or building block, click **+ New**, then in the **Content** tab click **Youtube Content**. The **"New Youtube Content"** dialog opens.

## Tips

<Tip>
  You can use any Youtube URLs, both long URLs (`youtube.com/watch?v=…`) and short URLs (`youtu.be/…`).
</Tip>

<Tip>
  Leave **Element width** and **Element height** set to `0` so that the player automatically adapts to the layout container and retains the correct aspect ratio.
