Why Video Gallery

The best way to put a YouTube playlist on your website

A real playlist player on your site — not YouTube’s hidden playlist menu.

Follows your playlist

Add or reorder videos on YouTube — the widget follows.

People watch in order

A numbered playlist next to the player keeps viewers going.

Grows your channel

A subscribe button in the header and popup.
Features

  1. Player

    The selected video plays in place.

    Shows progress: 1/12.

  3. Numbered videos
