Rich Content

Hugo ships with several Built-in Shortcodes for rich content, along with a Privacy Config and a set of Simple Shortcodes that enable static and no-JS versions of various social media embeds.

YouTube privacy enhanced shortcode

The youtube shortcode embeds a responsive video player for YouTube videos. Only the ID of the video is required, e.g.:

YouTube URL:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qHkcs3kG44

Shortcode:

{{< youtube 3qHkcs3kG44 >}}
