Video Gallery is a responsive WordPress plugin designed to display YouTube and Vimeo videos on your website. You can mix YouTube and Vimeo videos together inside a single gallery. The plugin features built-in integration with the YouTube Data API to fetch titles, descriptions, and thumbnails automatically, saving you time and effort. It is fully compatible with page builders, featuring a dedicated Gutenberg block and an Elementor widget.
With built-in playback analytics, you can track which videos are popular, monitor platform shares (YouTube vs. Vimeo), and export play logs directly from your dashboard.
