<p>YouTube SimpleGallery is a plugin for creating video galleries with thumbnails. Now merged with the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/vimeo-simplegallery/" rel="ugc">Vimeo SimpleGallery</a>, this plugin supports both YouTube and Vimeo. You can even combine videos from both services in the same gallery. The plugin will automatically fetch both thumbnails and titles from YouTube/Vimeo.</p>
<p><em>Now also supports user feeds – a much requested feature!</em></p>
<h4>YouTube SimpleGallery – new and improved!</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>YouTube SimpleGallery</strong> and <strong>Vimeo SimpleGallery</strong> have merged, i.e. they now have the same codebase. Old shortcodes still functional.</li>
<li>NEW FEATURE: It is now possible to combine video services, i.e. you can add links from YouTube and Vimeo in the same gallery.</li>
<li>NEW FEATURE: Automatically fetch titles from video service.</li>
<li>NEW FEATURE: User-defined attributes in shortcode overrides default settings: cols=x and thumbwidth=y allows for galleries with different thumb sizes, etc.</li>
<li>NEW SHORTCODE: [youtubeuserfeed user=username service=youtube] – outputs a gallery from a user’s video feed – works with both YouTube (service=youtube) and Vimeo (service=vimeo).</li>
</ul>
<p>To embed a gallery in a Post use the following code:</p>
<pre><code>[youtubegallery]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRdxXPV9GNQ
http://vimeo.com/13470805
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJK-G9-dLzw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4aqM_wu6Ns
http://vimeo.com/68180971
[/youtubegallery]
</code></pre>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>= Galleries =<br />
You can now combine links from YouTube and Vimeo in the same gallery.</p>
<p>To embed a gallery in a Post use the following code:</p>
<pre><code>[youtubegallery]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRdxXPV9GNQ
http://vimeo.com/13470805
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJK-G9-dLzw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4aqM_wu6Ns
http://vimeo.com/68180971
[/youtubegallery]
</code></pre>
<p>NOTE: Make sure URLs start with http. For the time being, https is not supported.</p>
<p>If you want to add titles to the videos, add it before the link and separate with | (pipe), like this:</p>
<pre><code>[youtubegallery]
Eyes Close|http://vimeo.com/13470805
Jožin z bažin|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4aqM_wu6Ns
[/youtubegallery]
</code></pre>
<p>NOTE: If titles are added before videos, these will override titles fetched automatically from services.</p>
<h4>User Feeds</h4>
<p>To set up a gallery that subscribes to a user’s feed, use the following shortcode:<br />
    [youtubeuserfeed user=username service=youtube]</p>
<p>Note that both <code>user</code> and <code>service</code> are <strong>required</strong> for the feed to work. Service is either youtube or vimeo.</p>
<p>Optional attributes are maxitems=x where x is the number of items to fetch:</p>
<pre><code>[youtubeuserfeed user=username service=youtube maxitems=4]
</code></pre>
<h4>Overrides</h4>
<p>Overrides are a way of suppressing the default settings of the plugin, with attributes of your own.</p>
<p>Override columns with <code>cols=x</code>, where x is the number of thumbs per row:</p>
<pre><code>[youtubegallery cols=8]
</code></pre>
<p>Override thumbnail width with <code>thumbwidht=x</code>, where x is a pixel value:</p>
<pre><code>[youtubegallery thumbwidth=100]
</code></pre>
<p>Fetch titles from service with <code>autotitles=fetch</code> (or <code>autotitles=false</code> to not fetch):</p>
<pre><code>[youtubegallery autotitles=fetch]
</code></pre>
<p>And, of course, you can combine them:</p>
<pre><code>[youtubegallery cols=8 thumbwidth=100 autotitles=false]
</code></pre>
<p>These are also applicable for the <code>[youtubeuserfeed]</code> shortcode.</p>
<h4>Supported Video Services</h4>
<p>Supported services are YouTube and Vimeo. Other services might be added, but a requirement is that they can deliver video streams in a HTML5-compatible format.</p>
<p>Note that it is possible to combine videos from both services in galleries.</p>

<h3>External services</h3>
<p>Presto Player can connect to the third-party services below. Each connection, the data that is sent, and when it happens are described here.</p>
<p><strong>YouTube and Vimeo (only when you embed their videos):</strong> Embedding a YouTube or Vimeo video loads that video from the service in the visitor’s browser, which sends the visitor’s IP address and playback interactions to that service. This only happens for videos you choose to embed.</p>
<ul>
<li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/t/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a> and <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a></li>
<li>Vimeo: <a href="https://vimeo.com/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a> and <a href="https://vimeo.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Usage tracking (opt-in, disabled by default):</strong> If you explicitly opt in, the plugin periodically sends non-sensitive environment data — such as PHP and WordPress versions, active plugins and theme, site locale, and which plugin features are used — to Brainstorm Force to help improve the product. It is off until you give consent, and you can opt out at any time.</p>

Presto Player


We had been searching for an easy to use plugin that can help us display videos on our website without impacting page speed. Presto Player was so intuitive and easy to use. I had our explainer video up and running in 30 mins.


So easy to use!


I purchased the pro version of this plugin in hopes they would treat me as a professional. I installed this on a client's site, and now there is a giant dashboard notice on every page asking for a review. My clients don't even know what Presto Player is. They shouldn't be bombarded with review requests for plugins they've never heard of when they log into their website.


Adds large notification to every page of the WordPress dashboard


If you do anything with videos on WordPress, this is an essential plugin. I was using Wistia but now I'm in the process of transferring everything over to PrestoPlayer hosting video files on Bunny.net.


Essential WordPress Plugin


We have tried other video players for Wordpress but this one stands out! Both when it comes to customizing the player, performance, and not least the amazing stats!! As soon as a logged in user has viewed a video, we can see it in clear text in the Analytics. Very impressive. Can really recommend this video player. 


Awesome player!


Спасибо за хороший продукт


Отличный плагин


I am using the Pro version on two sites now. There is so much flexibility yet the options are simple and straightforward to impliment.
