<p>Use this plugin when you want to display a list of recent YouTube videos from a<br />
channel or playlist in your site’s sidebar.</p>
<p>This plugin is a fork of Aleksandar Urošević’s <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/youtube-channel/" rel="ugc">YouTube<br />
Channel</a>. This plugin is much<br />
more lightweight and does only have a subset of YouTube Channel’s features.</p>
<p>The videos are each only presented with a thumbnail, and optionally also its<br />
title and/or description. Clicking a thumbnail takes the user to the video’s<br />
page on YouTube. This results in a much smaller codebase and no additional<br />
front-end dependencies. The original plugin, YouTube Channel by Aleksandar<br />
Urošević, on the other hand depends on several JavaScript libraries<br />
(<a href="http://jquery.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">jQuery</a>, <a href="http://fitvidsjs.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">FitVids.JS</a> and<br />
<a href="http://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/" rel="nofollow ugc">Magnific Popup</a>), which<br />
potentially makes the whole WordPress site both slower to load and use.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Display latest videos from YouTube channel, favorites or playlist.</li>
<li>Option to get random videos from resources mentioned above.</li>
<li>The videos are displayed with a thumbnail.</li>
<li>Clicking a thumbnail takes the user to the video’s page on YouTube.</li>
<li>Custom caching timeout.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Styling</h4>
<p>You can use the <code>style.css</code> from your theme to style the widget’s content.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>.youtube_channel</code> – Main widget wrapper class (non-responsive block has<br />
additional class <code>default</code>, responsive block has additional class<br />
  responsive).</li>
<li><code>.ytc_title</code> – Class of video title above thumbnail.</li>
<li><code>.ytc_video_container</code> – Class of a single item’s container wrapper.</li>
<li><code>.ytc_video_1</code>, <code>.ytc_video_2</code>, … – Class for the container of a single<br />
item where the number is the item’s placement in the list.</li>
<li><code>.ytc_video_first</code> – Class of the first item’s container.</li>
<li><code>.ytc_video_last</code> – Class of the last item’s container.</li>
<li><code>.ytc_video_mid</code> – Class of all other containers.</li>
