* <em>Example:</em> For <code>youtube.com/watch?v=9K4uBRkFJEU</code>, the ID is <code>9K4uBRkFJEU</code>.<br />
* Simply enter this ID in the Video editor, and the plugin fetches the rest.</p>
<h3>Built-in Layouts</h3>
<p>If you use the <strong>Optional Setup Assistant</strong>, it will create two ready-to-use pages for you:<br />
1.  <strong>YouTube Video Gallery:</strong> Features a main player with thumbnail navigation at the bottom.<br />
2.  <strong>YouTube Video Grid:</strong> A high-resolution 4-column responsive layout.</p>
<h3>Customization Tips</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Thumbnail Quality:</strong> You can change dimensions (e.g., 4:3 instead of 16:9) in the settings to match your site’s design.</li>
<li><strong>Content & Excerpts:</strong> Add custom text for every video. The content appears on the single video page, while the excerpt appears right below the main video in the gallery view.</li>
