YouTube /live/ format not being embedded

YouTube now uses a new /live/ format for livestreams, even for the recording after they’ve already concluded, eg:

https://www.youtube.com/live/fJtuecV6Mwo

Trying to embed this into Ghost by either just pasting into a new paragraph or using the YouTube embed card UI specifically will fail, and it will fallback to a Bookmark.

For it to embed as a video one has to manually change the URL to the old format, eg:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJtuecV6Mwo

It would be ideal if Ghost could understand the new /live/ format so that manually editing wouldn’t be required.

This isn’t just some rare edge case btw, even if you click ‘Share’ on a concluded livestream now YouTube will give you the /live/ link. Ghost should support it.

This has already been fixed in the latest Ghost release v5.89.0

Great, thanks! :smiley:

We’re on Ghost(Pro) and our site’s version is listed as 5.88.2+moya, so I guess we just need to wait for this to roll out to our site.
