FAQ

How can I embed the YouTube Lightbox on my website?

To add a lightbox player for your YouTube videos to your website with Elfsight’s plugin, follow these simple steps:

  1. Design the plugin to match your website’s style and interaction needs.
  2. Sign in to your Elfsight account or create a new one for free.
  3. Copy the installation code provided in your dashboard.
  4. Paste the code into your website using your editor or builder.

For extra guidance, feel free to explore our in-depth tutorial on embedding YouTube Gallery on any website.

How can I show my full YouTube channel inside the lightbox?

You just need the URL of your YouTube channel—paste it into the “Channel URL” field inside the plugin’s settings. The player will automatically fetch your latest videos and display them in the lightbox view.

Can I use a YouTube playlist instead of a single video?

Yes, Elfsight supports playlists as a video source. Just insert the link to your YouTube playlist in the “Source Group” tab. You can present all the video content within a neat and interactive lightbox layout.

Which website platforms work with this plugin?

The plugin works on virtually every platform—no special tech or CMS is required. Here are some of the most commonly used by our customers:

Squarespace, Wix, HTML, Webflow, WordPress, Shopify, Elementor, Google Sites, GoDaddy, and iFrame.

Is there a free version of the lightbox player available?

Yes! Elfsight offers a Free plan that includes the full functionality of the widget. You can build and publish a fully working lightbox player without spending anything. When you’re ready for more advanced features, you can explore our paid plans: Basic, Pro, Premium, or Enterprise.

Do I need coding skills to use this plugin?

Not at all. The widget is entirely no-code—just configure it in the live editor and copy-paste the code to your website. If you’re familiar with CSS, you can go even further with advanced design tweaks, but it’s optional.

Where should I place the YouTube video on my website?

The placement is entirely up to you. Many users embed it on landing pages, blog posts, or even product detail pages to boost engagement. A strategically placed lightbox can increase YouTube views and time-on-site dramatically.

What customization options are available for this plugin?

There’s a lot you can modify to create a perfect match with your website:

  • Video sources
    Add individual videos, full playlists, or entire channels from YouTube. You can display one or mix several together.
  • Lightbox & layout settings
    Adjust header visibility, columns, navigation style, slider behavior, and more.
  • Design and extras
    Change color themes, apply translations, add your API Key, enable privacy modes, and set up AdSense integration—all from one place.

If you get stuck, our friendly Support Team is always ready to help.
