Frequently Asked Questions
What are placeholder videos useful for?
Placeholder videos are helpful in various scenarios such as testing layouts, mockups, presentations, and prototypes. They provide realistic examples when you don't have final content ready yet.
Can I use these videos in production?
While you can technically use any YouTube video, these are meant as placeholders for development and testing purposes. Replace them with your actual content before going live with production projects.
What's the difference between regular and Shorts embed codes?
Regular YouTube videos typically have a 16:9 aspect ratio (560x315), while Shorts videos are vertical with a 9:16 ratio (315x560). This makes them useful for different layout requirements and content formats.
