Questions and resources

Frequently asked questions

What is the best WordPress video player?

The best WordPress video player depends on your needs. Video Gallery is a WordPress video player and gallery in one: it plays YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram and hosted videos, with no plugin to update.

Do I need to install a WordPress plugin?

No. Video Gallery runs from Elfsight’s cloud. Paste the installation code into a Custom HTML block or your builder’s HTML module — there’s no plugin to install or update.

What’s the best video gallery plugin for WordPress?

It depends on your needs. If you want several sources, many layouts, auto-updating feeds and nothing to maintain, a cloud widget like Video Gallery is the simplest. We compare popular options in our guide.

Does it work with Elementor, Divi and other page builders?

Yes — Elementor (HTML widget), Divi (Code module), Beaver Builder (HTML module), WPBakery (Raw HTML), Bricks (Code element) and the block editor.

Can I add a video gallery to the WordPress sidebar?

Yes. Choose a compact layout such as Video Playlist or Carousel and add the code to a Custom HTML widget in Appearance → Widgets, or in the site editor for block themes.

Can I use it as a WordPress video player?

Yes. Choose the Single Video or Player with Gallery template.

Can I show a YouTube channel on WordPress?

Yes. Connect YouTube → Channel as the source; new uploads appear automatically. See YouTube Video Gallery for WordPress.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. Add the code to a product description or product template to show demos and reviews, with a call-to-action after the video.

Will it slow down my site?

The widget loads from Elfsight’s CDN and is lazy-loaded by default, and it adds no plugin code to your WordPress install.

Does it work on WordPress.com?

Yes, on the Business and Commerce plans. Free, Personal and Premium plans don’t allow scripts, so the code would show as plain text.

Is it free?

There’s a free plan with every source, layout and setting; it’s limited by monthly widget views.
