Add My YouTube Channel widget to the widget area or shortcode to post/page content, set Channel ID or Playlist ID, chose resource to use and keep defaults for all other options. And voila! You will get the latest video from chosen YouTube channel or playlist.
IMPORTANT My YouTube Channel does not support Live Streams and does not have Gutenberg Block. Use Shortcode Block or Classic Block to insert shortcode to page/post content.

<h4>Requirements</h4>

<h4>Styling</h4>
Use Customizer, <code>style.css</code> from the child theme or <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/head-footer-code/" rel="ugc">Head & Footer Code</a> plugin to custom style and tweak the look and feel of the My YouTube Channel blocks. You can utilise the following classes:
<ul>

<li><code>.ytc_title_inside</code> – additional class for video title printed inside of the thumbnail</li>
<li><code>.ytc_title_inside_bottom</code> – additional class for bottom aligned video title printed inside of the thumbnail</li>
</ul>
</li>

<li><code>.ytc_video_mid</code> – class of all other containers for single item</li>
<li><code>.ytc_video_last</code> – class of last container for single item</li>

<h4>Known Issues</h4>
<ul>
<li>Video title and description for embedded playlist mode do not work.</li>
<li>Removing the YouTube logo from the playback control bar does not work for all videos.</li>
<li>Autoplay does not work always</li>
</ul>
If WordFence or other malware scan tool detect My YouTube Channel file <code>youtube-channel.php</code> as a potential risk because <code>base64_encode()</code> and <code>base64_decode()</code> functions, remember that we use this two functions to store and restore JSON feeds to transient cache, so potential detection is false positive.

<h3>What the plugin can do ?</h3>
As you know, Telegram has added the ability to display channel posts on the web using EMBED Code.
Based on this feature, I decided to build this plugin That allows you to display all your channel content in a beautiful widget 
similar to the Telegram App easily, and by activating the post updater bot on your channel, you will automatically have 
the most recent channel content in your site widget.
Note : You can display any channel’s post on your WordPress site when you enter last post link of a channel in the plugin’s Setting ! 
but if you need to Connect widget to your channel and automatically show all new posts of your channel on TGchannel widget , 
 you should add @TGCH_BOT to your telegram channel as admin. 
this bot will refresh widget posts when a new post published in telegram channel.
