BarkingLlama Roulette adds a simple shortcode and REST endpoint that selects a random YouTube video from a configured playlist and embeds it on your site.
Perfect for motivational cards as Shorts, “daily randomness” pages, or any curated playlist you want to keep fresh.
Features: 
* Shortcode: [llama_roulette] 
* REST endpoint: /wp-json/llama-roulette/v1/random 
* Playlist caching via transients to reduce YouTube API calls 
* Optional Privacy Enhanced Mode (youtube-nocookie embeds) 
* “Start Muted” setting for reliable autoplay
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin uses the YouTube Data API v3 (Google) to retrieve videos from the configured YouTube playlist so it can select and display a random video.
What data is sent and when: 
* The configured playlist ID (or playlist ID parsed from a provided playlist URL) is sent when the plugin requests playlist items. 
* The configured YouTube API key is sent with those API requests for authentication. 
* These requests occur when cached playlist data is missing or expired, or when playlist data must be refreshed.
Service provider: 
* Google / YouTube Data API v3

BarkingLlama Roulette

Spin the wheel to embed a random YouTube playlist video via shortcode or REST API.

Ciprian Popescu

Display a YouTube player (with an optional playlist) on any post or page using a simple shortcode. The plugin supports a static YouTube player (no video title) and a dynamic one (video title) using the YouTube Data API v3.
Embedded players must have a viewport that is at least 200px by 200px. If the player displays controls, it must be large enough to fully display the controls without shrinking the viewport below the minimum size. We recommend 16:9 players be at least 480 pixels wide and 270 pixels tall.
The YouTube player is responsive and it will work on all themes and screen sizes!

<li>Uses a simple shortcode which can be used in posts, pages, custom post types, widgets, reusable blocks.</li>
