How It Works

After installation, you get a dedicated “Video Gallery” section in your dashboard. From there, you can add videos by entering their YouTube or Vimeo IDs, upload custom thumbnail images, and organize them into galleries. Each gallery generates a unique shortcode that you can paste into any page, post, or widget area.

What You Can Build

  • Product demonstration galleries for e-commerce sites
  • Tutorial and course video collections
  • Music and entertainment video showcases
  • Client testimonial video walls
  • Event highlight reels
  • Portfolio presentations for creative professionals

The setup is weird – you have to pull a photo from your own media library to use as the cover photo for the video. uhmmmm, ok. I did that, but then the video gets an error message and will not play. Overall, not a very efficient or effective plugin.

the basic functionality is exactly what I need: creating a video-gallery with different videos from youtube or vimeo or whatelse… but there is a stange workflow: for every video you want to use, you need to define a video-banner – also if you want to use the default-preview-image from youtube… So I used for all videos the header-image of my blog… but when I tried to add different videos with different titles and descriptions, the different videos were no problem but the title/desc was always for all videos that one from the last video… so this makes the plugin completely useless for me :-/
