01 · The problem

Business and technical context

The existing PlayTube platform needed a Shorts-oriented content path that fit its current version and presentation without being treated as a separate custom video product.

02 · The solution

Implementation approach

I reviewed the installed PlayTube workflow and theme, connected the evidenced YouTube Shorts behavior to the relevant platform surface, handled the required video information and user states, and verified the integration inside the existing application.
