# Updated Admin GraphQL/Storefront ExternalVideo URL fields

As part of the 2022-04 API release, we've updated the Admin GraphQL and Storefront APIs to provide clearer URLs for the `ExternalVideo` type:

* The `embeddedUrl` field has been deprecated in favor of `originUrl`. Like `embeddedUrl`, `originUrl` returns the URL to the video on its hosted platform (either Vimeo or YouTube).
* A new field called `embedUrl` has been added. It returns the URL required to embed the video inside an iframe.

Learn more about the [Admin API `ExternalVideo` type](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/2022-04/objects/externalvideo) and the [Storefront API `ExternalVideo` type](https://shopify.dev/api/storefront/reference/products/externalvideo?api%5Bversion%5D=2022-04) on Shopify.dev.
