Why People Love Elfsight
Joomla gives you plenty of flexibility for publishing content, and video can make those pages even more useful to visitors. With the Elfsight Video Gallery for Joomla, you can turn tutorials, company videos, interviews, product demos, customer stories, and social clips into one structured showcase instead of embedding each video separately.
Add content from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo, Twitch, or a custom source and control the entire gallery from the Elfsight editor. Pin important videos to the top, use filters and sorting to organize larger collections, and enable the mini-player so visitors can keep watching as they browse. You can also decide what happens at the end of playback and use an end card to direct viewers toward another useful page or action.
The finished gallery can be placed on a specific Joomla page or integrated more broadly into your website, depending on where you want visitors to see it.

How to Add a Video to Joomla
You can create your Video Gallery and add it to Joomla in a few steps:
- Choose a Template: Open the Elfsight editor and select a template that suits your website and content.
- Add Your Videos: Paste links from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo, Twitch, or use Custom Source to create your gallery.
- Customize the Extension: Adjust the layout and appearance, configure filters and sorting, enable the mini-player if needed, and choose what happens after playback.
- Copy the Installation Code: Click “Add to website for free” and copy the code generated by Elfsight.
- Add It to Joomla: For page-specific placement, add the required Elfsight script to your active template and insert the gallery code into the relevant article. For site-wide placement, the full installation code can be added to the template before the closing
</body>tag. The exact menu path varies between Joomla versions and templates.

Do I need to install a Joomla extension package?
No, you don’t need to download and install a separate extension package from the Joomla Extensions Directory.
Create your Video Gallery in the Elfsight editor, copy the generated installation code, and add it to your Joomla website.
Can I add Video Gallery to a specific Joomla article?
Yes, you can display Video Gallery on a specific page or article rather than showing it throughout your entire website.
Elfsight’s Joomla installation process allows the gallery-specific part of the code to be placed in the article where you want the video extension to appear. If you want the gallery available more broadly, Elfsight also supports site-wide installation through your Joomla template.
What video sources does the Video Gallery support?
Video Gallery supports YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo, Twitch, and Custom Source.
You can bring videos from different supported platforms together and present them as one consistent gallery on your Joomla website.
Can I combine videos from different platforms in one gallery?
Yes, you can include videos from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo, Twitch, and custom sources in the same gallery.
This is useful when your tutorials, company videos, customer stories, interviews, or other content are distributed across several platforms but you want visitors to find everything in one place.
Can I upload video files directly to Elfsight?
No, Video Gallery works with video links rather than direct file uploads.
Publish or host your content through a supported source first, then add its URL in the Elfsight editor to include it in your gallery.
What is Custom Source in Video Gallery?
Custom Source gives you another way to add supported video content when it doesn’t come from one of the listed platforms.
Choose Custom Source in the editor, provide the required video link, and include it alongside the rest of your gallery content.
Can I make selected videos appear first?
Yes, you can pin priority videos so they appear at the beginning of your gallery.
Select the content you want visitors to notice first and pin it in the editor. This works well for featured resources, announcements, popular tutorials, campaigns, or other important videos.
Can I use filters and sorting in my Joomla Gallery?
Filters and sorting help visitors navigate larger video collections more efficiently.
They can be particularly helpful for resource libraries, educational websites, portfolios, product content, or Joomla sites that cover several different topics.
Can visitors continue watching with the mini-player?
Yes, enable the mini-player to keep the active video visible while visitors continue exploring other content on the page.
This allows viewers to stay connected to the video without keeping the full player in the main gallery area.
Can vertical videos open in a popup on Joomla?
Yes, vertical videos and Shorts can open in a mobile-friendly vertical popup, giving short-form content a format that feels natural on smaller screens.
This is especially useful if you’re looking for video pop up functionality for Shorts, TikTok-style clips, or other portrait videos.
What happens after a video finishes?
Use the Video Behavior settings to decide what follows playback. You can replay the current video, play the next video, show an end card, or display an end card and then continue to the next video.
The end card can include a promotional banner that directs visitors toward another article, service, product, resource, offer, campaign, or other relevant next step.
