Feeds for YouTube Pro adds ways to select and display YouTube videos in WordPress. A feed can focus on live streams, search results or videos matching keywords, while layouts and playback actions shape how users browse that content.

Video sources and visitor choices

• Use the YouTube Live API to display live streaming videos.
• Filter videos by keywords in their titles or descriptions.
• Display videos returned by the search endpoint.
• Combine multiple feeds in one display.
• Set an action for when a video completes, such as showing a product page link or thumbnails of other videos.
• Download video data into a custom post type so visitors can browse and view videos on your site.

Feed layouts and video playback

Choose a list, gallery, grid or carousel layout. Feeds can inherit your theme’s styles, adapt to mobile screens, and appear on various pages or in widgets. A feed can include a header and a Load More button. Custom CSS or JavaScript is available when the standard options do not provide enough control.

The add-on retrieves video information through the YouTube API. It adds the video player iframe after a visitor interacts with the feed, rather than loading the player with the initial page view.

For example, a site can set a product page link to appear when a video finishes. A publisher can combine feeds or use a carousel to present videos from multiple channels in one display.
