**Team ID:**

- In the Glide dashoard URL, e.g.  
`[https://go.glideapps.com/o/N0fynyls5kV1yrw3FK7q](https://go.glideapps.com/o/N0fynyls5kV1yrw3FK7q)’

**App ID:**

- In the Glide builder URL, e.g.  
`[https://go.glideapps.com/app/zV2u7v8V56St8ajHj2KE/data/](https://go.glideapps.com/app/zV2u7v8V56St8ajHj2KE/data/)’

**Description**

- If you create a YouTube Thumbnail column and the source video in a URL column is a YouTube Short it will not generate anything. A standard YouTube video url works just fine.

**How to replicate**

- 
  1. Create a URL Column

- 
  1. Paste in the url of a YouTube Shorts video

- 
  1. No thumbnail is generated.

- 
  1. Note that the YouTube Shorts video works fine if you manually create a thumbnail. I know that this was reported in 2022 as neither column type worked with Shorts then, and work arounds were suggested.
