Our premium YouTube gallery has plenty of adjustable parameters, which you can manually customize as you wish. Today we continue to describe in detail “Header” settings sections presented in our plugin so that then you can easily navigate through all settings and customize needed parameters.
Manage Informative Header for Your Gallery
Header is a handy informative part of the YouTube gallery plugin. All information about YouTube videos and channels is available on users’ screens. Header settings include enabling or disabling various data parameters and after that presenting it the way you want.
Yottie header tab in action
After clicking on the concerned tab you will see the following settings:
“Show header” option
Header layout
Header info
Settings for a custom header
First of all, you can check or uncheck header. If you’d like to make accent only on video content then remove a mark and header won’t be shown.
YouTube plugin’s flexible customization allows you to adjust the header to your requirements. The next section will describe major possible cases in order to understand Yottie source functionality.
Main Use Cases of Yottie “Header” Tab
Let’s view several major variants of adjusting “Header” tab, which you can easily manage yourself on your website. Note that you can implement any case listed below or think out your own approach to the “Header” tab.
1. Header On
By default, header is on in your YouTube gallery. Thus, If you set some channel as a source, all content including channel’s banner, logo and description will appear in header. This case is great if you are going to promote your own YouTube channel or you’d like to present officially someone’s channel on your site.
Tip: If you show all videos in one group, we advise turning off groups names. To do so you have to select “Groups” tab and uncheck “Show groups” option.
2. Header Off
Strive to make your audience pay their attention to videos without any secondary information? You can definitely do this by unchecking header option. Your audience will see exactly the video gallery and nothing else. This case will also suit those, who display appropriate videos from others channels.
Tip: If you want to show several channels separately, create a gallery for each source and display it on your website. You can use Yottie as many times on one site as you wish.
3. Custom Header
Using Yottie you are able to make a playlist out of different YouTube videos by using various sources. You can create a custom header, which will show the topic of your video gallery, in this case. Learn more about custom header options in “Customize Yottie Header” section.
By the way, we recommend you to display logo and banner in HD so that your header will look awesomely on any browsing screen size.
Tip: Upload desired photos for custom logo and banner to any file storage service (for example, Google Drive), from where you will be able to copy the link to these files.
Choose Layout of Header
There are 3 available layouts for Yottie:
Classic – gives an overall view of the channel you set
Classic header layout
Accent – pays more attention to the name of the source and its description

Each layout has its own unique appearance and any of them can be used depending on your taste and location of YouTube channel gallery on the web page.

Customize Yottie Header
Don’t have your own YouTube channel or don’t want to show someone else’s header? You can create your own header by managing the following info elements:
Channel name – give a custom name for your YouTube gallery
Channel description – describe your custom YouTube header (for example, what you are going to show in the video gallery and what’s the goal of the whole thing)

Create your own header for the video gallery

To ensure that your audience will notice this videos you can create a custom header with company’s logo and description of the YouTube gallery.

By using Yottie you are able to choose the appropriate channel name, description and to upload any photo for your logo and banner.
More Tabs
