Video galleries from YouTube and Vimeo

Video Gallery – Vimeo and YouTube Gallery Pro is a WordPress plugin for creating responsive video galleries from YouTube and Vimeo. You can add videos from either service, combine both sources in one gallery, and present the collection on a post, page, or widget area using a shortcode.

The gallery creation process is designed around adding a video, entering a title, writing a description, and providing a link. You can add unlimited YouTube URLs and unlimited Vimeo embed links to build galleries for different projects, subjects, or collections.

Seven presentation views

The plugin provides seven gallery views for arranging video content in different ways:

• Content Video Slider: Show videos individually with a title, description, and link button.
• Lightbox Video Gallery: Present videos without text in a box and open them in a lightbox.
• Video Slider: Display videos as a slider with titles placed directly on the video.
• Thumbnails: Arrange videos as thumbnail boxes with hover titles and lightbox opening.
• Justified View: Place videos next to each other without padding between them.
• Blog Style View: Use a blog-style presentation for the gallery content.
• Content Popup: Present gallery content through a popup-oriented layout.

The available views let you choose between information-rich shows, compact thumbnail collections, sliders, and larger popup or lightbox presentations. In Justified View, an order-changing function can be enabled so the video arrangement changes when the page is refreshed.

Pro customization options

The Pro edition includes general and lightbox options for adjusting the appearance of the gallery. These commercial options allow changes to colors, font sizes, and effects, along with further styling adjustments. Lightbox styling can be configured from the Lightbox Options section.

Depending on the selected view, you can display video titles, descriptions, links, uploader-provided information, and background images. For slider layouts, you can choose how videos slide and modify their styles. Thumbnail layouts can use background images and open selected videos in a lightbox.

Practical gallery processes

Create a Vimeo-only gallery for a collection of hosted videos, a YouTube-only gallery for a channel or topic, or a mixed gallery that combines videos from both services. Content Video Slider is suited to presentations where each item needs supporting text and a link, while thumbnails or Lightbox Video Gallery can keep the show focused on the videos.

Installation and publishing

Upload the plugin through the WordPress dashboard and create a gallery by adding video URLs or embed links, titles, descriptions, and links as needed. Select one of the seven views, review the general and lightbox settings, and generate the gallery shortcode. Paste the shortcode into a page, post, or widget area to publish the gallery.
