<p>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.</p>
<p>Perfect for motivational cards as Shorts, “daily randomness” pages, or any curated playlist you want to keep fresh.</p>
<p>Features:<br />
* Shortcode: [llama_roulette]<br />

* The configured YouTube API key is sent with those API requests for authentication.<br />
