Why Video Gallery

The easiest way to show one video on your website

A styled, responsive player you can swap videos in — without touching the code again.

Keeps visitors on your page

The video plays right on your site — no jump to YouTube.

Leads to the next step

Show a card with your link when the video ends: sign up, book or buy.

Matches your brand

Your colors, fonts and title — not a default embed box.

Features

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I embed a single YouTube video without code?

Choose the Single Video template, paste the video link, style the player and add the installation code to your site once. Later you can replace the video in the editor — the code on your site stays the same.

Which videos can I show in the Single Video template?

YouTube, Vimeo and Twitch videos, and videos hosted anywhere that you add by link. For a single TikTok or Instagram Reel, use our free embed code generators.

Can I add more videos later?

Yes. Switch the layout to Player with Gallery or Video Carousel and add more videos — the installation code doesn’t change.

Is the player responsive?

Yes. It resizes to the width of the page or column on desktop, tablet and mobile.

Is it free?

There’s a free plan, and you don’t need a credit card to start.

Can I replace the video later?

Yes. Change it in the editor — the code on your site stays the same.

Can I add a button after the video?

Yes. Turn on Call to Action to show a card with your link when the video ends.
