Description
A WordPress YouTube embed, YouTube gallery (channel or playlist), and even YouTube livestream or premiere can be customized in a wide variety of ways. It focuses on performance with the ability to defer JavaScript, while serving minified CSS and JavaScript. Here are a few recently added features:
The latest Tweets from Vongola 02 (@02Vongola). Only Free Content Report Link? Embed our Audio Player. Audio, video, documents or anything else you want to send. The maximum file size is 500 MB. Zippyshare.com is completely free.
Zippyshare embedded video player for some videos I've noticed that some mp4 videos files I upload to zippy share have an embedded video player, on the download page, where you can watch the full video without downloading it.
- Defer critical and non critical JavaScript – improve the initial load time of your pages by allowing this plugin’s critical and non critical Javascript code to begin execution only after a page is loaded. That reasoning is the basis for the Defer CSS Javascript (styles and code) recommendation you’ll see in various web profiling tools. We plan to allow you to defer critical and non critical CSS in the near future.
- Compatible with the WordPress Gutenberg block editor (it also stays backwards-compatible with the classic editor). Both the Gutenberg block selector and the Gutenberg classic block will show the YouTube wizard button. For the Gutenberg block selector, click on the (+) sign for the block editor list. The YouTube Wizard block is located under the “Embeds” category (make sure you choose “YouTube Wizard“). See more on how to embed a YouTube video, gallery, or livestream with the WordPress Gutenberg block editor here >> The plugin is also compatible with several popular page builders like Elementor, Beaver Builder, SiteOrigin, and Visual Composer. For these and pretty much any other page builder with a short code widget, you can also embed your video, gallery, live stream, or premiere by creating the short code in the plugin’s wizard and then embedding the code in the page builder’s short code widget or text widget.
- Privacy and Consent – Improved privacy and GDPR compliance options like YouTube no cookie, YouTube API restrictions, and a customizable GDPR consent message
- YouTube gallery capability: channel and playlist – The ability to make playlist and channel embeds have a gallery layout. By default, the plugin can generate a grid-based responsive playlist or channel gallery >>. Your visitors can browse through pages of video thumbnails and choose from videos that are pulled from an entire YouTube channel or playlist.
- YouTube gallery auto continuous play – embed a playlist or channel gallery and allow it to play one video after the next without requiring viewers to click a thumbnail
- YouTube Live Stream – Given a link to a YouTube channel, the plugin wizard automatically finds a livestream if one is active in that channel and displays the livestream for you. You can embed a direct link to a livestream too.
- YouTube Premieres – You can also embed premiere videos using the same method we created for live streams
- Simultaneous playback control – you can enable/disable the ability for visitors to have separate videos running at the same time on the same page. This also works with YouTube livestream and gallery embeds.
- Improved accessibility by using title attributes for screen reader support. It should help your site pass functional accessibility evaluations (FAE).
- Improved ajax theme support
- Site origin information with each embed code as an extra security measure. In YouTube’s/Google’s own words, checking this option “protects against malicious third-party JavaScript being injected into your page and hijacking control of your YouTube player.” We especially recommend checking it as it adds higher security than the built-in YouTube embedding method that comes with the current version of WordPress (i.e. oembed).
- Easy “Insert” button for both the Visual and Text mode of the editor (for YouTube gallery and live stream embedding as well)
- Embed an entire YouTube channel as a (non-gallery, single embedded player) playlist
- Start video settings for playlist embeds. You can now choose to start a playlist with a specific video or have the plugin automatically start with the most recently added video. Note: If you’re embedding a YouTube gallery, the order will be defined by the order of the channel or playlist on YouTube.com
- Volume level initialization – helpful when autoplay is checked
- iOS playback preferences
- Automatic localization/internationalization so you can set the player’s interface language from English to another
- Instant HTTPS support. It can even convert past non-HTTPS videos to HTTPS. Did you know that Google uses HTTPS/SSL support as a ranking signal for SERP?
- “At a Glance” direct access to your YouTube posts/pages
- Shortcode support for embedding multiple videos on one line
- General playlist embedding support
- YouTube plugin migration support

This plugin helps you easily manage the growing complexity of YouTube embedding. It provides a spectrum of basic and advanced features of the YouTube embedded player and will have you posting videos in seconds after installing it.
The settings page has plenty of default options that you can automatically apply to your embedded YouTube video, gallery, and/or live stream:
- Modest branding – hide YouTube logo while playing (note that the YouTube watermark is shown instead)
- Turn on/off all annotations by default
- Automatically center all your videos
- Automatically start playing your videos
- Autohide controls until hovering
- Loop your videos
- Show/hide related videos at the end
- Show/hide the video title and other info (YouTube/Google has deprecated this feature)
- Use the light theme
- Show/hide player controls
- Turn on/off closed captions by default
- Make your video, gallery, or live stream responsive so that it dynamically fits in all screen sizes (smart phone, PC and tablet)
Customizations can be also made to each YouTube embed by adding more to the link as shown below. Adding these will override the above global defaults that you set:
- width – Sets the width of your player. If omitted, the default width will be the width of your theme’s content. Example:
'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&width=500&height=350'
- height – Sets the height of your player. If omitted, this will be calculated for you automatically. Example:
'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&width=500&height=350'
- autoplay – Set this to 1 to autoplay the video (or 0 to play the video once). Example:
'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&autoplay=1'
- cc_load_policy – Set this to 1 to turn on closed captioning (or 0 to leave them off). Example:
'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&cc_load_policy=1'
- iv_load_policy – Set this to 3 to turn off annotations (or 1 to show them). Example:
'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&iv_load_policy=3'
- loop – Set this to 1 to loop the video (or 0 to not loop). Example:
'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&loop=1'
- modestbranding – Set this to 1 to remove the YouTube logo while playing (or 0 to show the logo). Example:
'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&modestbranding=1'
- rel – Set this to 0 to only show related videos from the same channel as the current video (or 1 to show videos from any channel). Example:
'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&rel=0'
- showinfo – Set this to 0 to hide the video title and other info (or 1 to show it). Example:
'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&showinfo=0'

'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&fs=0'
You can also start and end each individual video at particular times. Like the above, each option should begin with ‘&’
- start – Sets the time (in seconds) to start the video. Example:
'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&width=500&height=350&start=20'
- end – Sets the time (in seconds) to stop the video. Example:
'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&width=500&height=350&end=100'

You can also start and end each individual video at particular times. Like the above, each option should begin with ‘&’
- start – Sets the time (in seconds) to start the video. Example:

- end – Sets the time (in seconds) to stop the video. Example:
'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&width=500&height=350&end=100'
We recommend using the wizard, but if you’re manually pasting a link, always follow these rules:
- Make sure the url is really on its own line by itself. Or, if you need multiple videos on the same line, make sure each URL is wrapped properly with the shortcode. Example:
[embedyt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABCDEFGHIJK&width=400&height=250[/embedyt]
- Make sure the url is not an active hyperlink (i.e., it should just be plain text). Otherwise, highlight the url and click the “unlink” button in your editor.
- Make sure you did not format or align the url in any way. If your url still appears in your actual post instead of a video, highlight it and click the “remove formatting” button (formatting can be invisible sometimes).
- Finally, there’s a slight chance your custom theme is the issue, if you have one. To know for sure, we suggest temporarily switching to one of the default WordPress themes (e.g., “Twenty Thirteen”) just to see if your video does appear. If it suddenly works, then your custom theme is the issue. You can switch back when done testing.

Step 1 - Adding video to website gallery.
Copy and paste a direct link to your YouTube video (or Google Video, Metacafe, Vimeo, MySpace) into the 'Video url' field and press 'Add video' button. This video will be automatically added to your website gallery.
If you have included the videos that you do not wish to be in the website gallery, you can easily remove them. Select all videos that you wish to remove from web site gallery, and select 'Delete selected..' button from the toolbar. You can pick and choose videos by holding the CTRL while clicking the videos you like.
Step 2 - Video Gallery properties.
Switch between available templates to select a template you want to use in the gallery.
Control the quality of output thumbnail images by defining 'Thumbnail quality' parameter (0%…100%).
You can establish the various sizes for the thumbnails and video resolution.
Step 3 - Publishing of Video LightBox. Put video on website or local drive.
Publish your website web gallery online or to a local drive.
Now you are ready to publish your website video gallery online or to a local drive for testing. Select the publishing method: publish to folder or publish to FTP server or paste lightbox gallery into existing html page using Insert to Page option.
- publish to folder. To select a folder on your hard drive, just click the Browse folders button and choose a location. Then click Ok. You can also set 'Open web page after publishing' option.
- publish to FTP server. The FTP Location Manager window enables you to define a number of connections for use when uploading your web site gallery to an FTP.
You are able to add a new FTP site by clicking 'Edit' to the right of the 'Publish to FTP server' drop down list. FTP Location Manager window will appear. Now type in a meaningful (this is not the actual hostname) name for your site and fill in the FTP details in the appropriate fields. You will have to type in your hostname, e.g. domain. The FTP port is normally located on port 21 thus this has been prefilled for you already. If your web site uses another port, you will have to enter it here.
Type in your username and password for the connection. If you do not fill in this information, Video LightBox is unable to connect to your site and thus not able to upload your videos to website. If this website enables anonymous connections, just type in anonymous as the username and your e-mail address as the password.
You might want to change the Directory as well if you need to have your uploaded images placed in e.g. 'www/gallery/'. You can specify it in the FTP Folder field on the Publish Gallery window.
Zippyshare Video Embed Converter
Notice: Write the name of the folder where your website video gallery will be placed on the server. Notice that you should specify this field; otherwise your website video gallery will be uploaded into the root folder of your server!
- Insert to page.To select a html page, just click the Open HTML page button and choose page where you want to install web site album. Then click Open.
Click inside the page to select where you want you gallery to appear. Click 'Insert After' button and 'Publish button'. Notice that it is not posible to insert more than one gallery on the same page.
Zippyshare Video Embed Code
Save your web video gallery as project file.
When you exit Video LightBox, you'll be asked if you want to save your project. The project consists of the videos you choose to put on your website video gallery and all your settings. It's a good idea to save the project, because that will allow you to change the project in case you decide to do something different with future galleries. So click Yes, then enter a name for your project. To select the location of your project, just click the Browse folders button and choose a different location. Then click Save.
Step 4 - Add Video LightBox inside your own page.
Video LightBox generates a special code. You can paste it in any place on your page where you want to add video popup.
