Can I link YouTube Shorts to long-form videos?

Is it possible to link YouTube Shorts to long-form videos?

At this time, linking YouTube Shorts to long-form videos through AdaptlyPost is not possible due to limitations in the YouTube API.

Why this feature is unavailable

YouTube's API does not offer the capability to create links between Shorts and long-form videos. As a result, third-party platforms like AdaptlyPost are unable to provide this functionality.

Alternative approaches

Although direct linking is not an option, you can:

• Reference your long-form videos in your Shorts descriptions
• Apply consistent hashtags across both content formats
• Add calls-to-action in your Shorts that encourage viewers to visit your channel

Potential future availability

We will continue to monitor YouTube's API updates and will implement this feature if it becomes supported in the future.
