<h4>How It Works</h4>
<p>After installation, you get a dedicated “Video Gallery” section in your dashboard. From there, you can add videos by entering their YouTube or Vimeo IDs, upload custom thumbnail images, and organize them into galleries. Each gallery generates a unique shortcode that you can paste into any page, post, or widget area.</p>

<p><strong>Column Flexibility</strong><br />

Video Gallery YouTube Vimeo

This is very simple and easy video gallery plugin. You can Create video gallery shortcodes and publish on your blog.

create YouTube video galleries and Vimeo video galleries by using this plugin.



Awesome Video Gallery

the basic functionality is exactly what I need: creating a video-gallery with different videos from youtube or vimeo or whatelse...

but there is a stange workflow: for every video you want to use, you need to define a video-banner - also if you want to use the default-preview-image from youtube...

So I used for all videos the header-image of my blog...
but when I tried to add different videos with different titles and descriptions, the different videos were no problem but the title/desc was always for all videos that one from the last video... so this makes the plugin completely useless for me :-/

buggy and strange workflow

Create responsive YouTube and Vimeo video galleries with custom layouts, lightbox display, and easy shortcode embedding.
