# POST /v3/application/shops/{}/listings/{}/videos changes: a new video is added beside the existing one instead of replacing it

Calls to POST /v3/application/shops/{id}/listings/{id}/videos on Etsy Open API stopped working on October 21, 2026.

On October 21, 2026, Etsy Open API changed the behavior of POST /v3/application/shops/{id}/listings/{id}/videos. Uploading or associating a video adds a new video alongside the existing one instead of replacing it, allowing listings to have up to two active videos. Requests that attempt to add a video when two are already present now fail.

## What to use instead

Stop sending is_multi_video. When a listing already has two videos, delete one before adding another, and update your integration to handle 409 responses.
