Why should your best Shorts live only on YouTube?

Why should your best Shorts live only on YouTube?

Pull Shorts from a channel or playlist

Connect a channel, and Curator brings in its Shorts along with everything else. Want Shorts only? Point Curator at a playlist of your Shorts instead. Every new Short you add to that playlist then shows up on your site automatically.

Decide which Shorts make the cut

Pulling from a busy channel? Switch on manual approval and review each video before it goes live. You can also set rules that reject certain words automatically. That way, only the clips you're truly proud of reach your website.

Show them tall, the way you filmed them

Shorts keep their vertical shape in your feed, so nothing gets awkwardly cropped or squeezed. Choose from 20+ templates, then tune colors, fonts, and spacing. Need a very specific look? Custom CSS takes care of every remaining detail.

Go live with one embed code

Paste your code into any page, or use our WordPress plugin. Curator loads with JavaScript rather than an iframe, so search engines can read your feed. It works on every major site builder, and you'll never need a developer.

Little extras made for short-form video

Can I show only Shorts and skip my long-form videos?

Yes. The easiest way is to put your Shorts in their own YouTube playlist. Then use that playlist as your source. Only Shorts will appear. Prefer to pull your whole channel? Turn on manual approval and simply skip the long-form videos you don't want shown.

Do Shorts stay vertical when they're embedded?

Yes. Shorts keep their tall, vertical format inside your feed, so they look the way you filmed them. That works especially well on phones. Pair them with a layout that suits tall videos, like a carousel. Your feed will feel like a natural part of the page.

Can I embed Shorts from a channel I don't own?

What's the difference between a Shorts feed and a full YouTube feed?

A Shorts feed focuses on quick, vertical clips, which is perfect for grabbing attention fast. A full YouTube feed shows your long-form videos too, like tutorials and webinars. Want both on your site? Learn how to embed a YouTube feed, and give each type its own spot.

Can I embed private or unlisted Shorts?

No. Curator only pulls public videos from YouTube, so private and unlisted Shorts won't appear in your feed. Want a particular Short on your website? Make it public on YouTube first. It'll show up on your next refresh, ready for your approval or automatic publishing.
