How to disable Youtube shorts when uploading videos?

Recently, I need share a few videos via Youtube channel. However, the receiver said that the video continuously replayed itself.

The problem

After some research, I noticed that the uploaded videos are short in length (less than 1 min), so these videos are marked as Youtube shorts video, and they automatically replay all the time.

Here is an example of short video with the URL https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nq-epMpa0E8

The fix

As you can see in the URL, it has the format https://www.youtube.com/shorts/video-id. The sub-folder shorts indicates the video is from Youtube shorts.

To disable this, one can change the URL to one of the following formats:

http://youtu.be/video-id, like https://youtu.be/nq-epMpa0E8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=video-id, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq-epMpa0E8

Then these videos will be played as regular Youtube videos, rather than Shorts.
