Hello there, @Dominick_Ray 👋 I’m truly sorry that our app didn’t fully meet your expectations 😔 The YouTube Gallery widget does support YouTube Shorts, but they are currently displayed in the standard video format, which I understand may not be the experience you were looking for. At the moment, displaying videos in the native vertical Shorts format isn’t supported. However, we do have a Wishlist request for this feature, and we’d really appreciate it if you could upvote it here: [Displaying Vertical Videos](https://community.elfsight.com/t/displaying-vertical-videos/5354) In the meantime, we have a custom solution you can try: [Vertical video display (like Shorts)](https://community.elfsight.com/t/vertical-video-display-like-shorts/76450) It doesn’t fully replicate YouTube’s native vertical video layout, but it may help achieve a similar look and could work for your use case. Feel free to give it a try, and let us know if you have any questions or feedback!
