Frequently Asked Questions

How do I insert a Rutube video?

Just copy the link to the video and paste it into the Gutenberg editor.

Why can’t I insert a video?

You may be inserting an incorrect link.
The link should look like this: https://rutube.ru/video/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ or https://rutube.ru/shorts/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/,
where xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the unique identifier of the video.

If you are trying to insert a video that is only available via a direct link (private video), make sure that the link looks like:
https://rutube.ru/video/private/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/?p=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, where xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the unique identifier of the video, and yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy is the access key.
