Video Dashboard lets you place training videos, tutorials, onboarding resources, and other embeddable video content directly in the WordPress admin dashboard so users can find help without leaving the site. Add videos from a simple settings page, arrange them with drag-and-drop, and optionally add a custom title and description to each one. Video Dashboard automatically retrieves video titles, providers, and thumbnails when available, making it easy to identify and manage your videos. You can also choose the minimum standard WordPress role that is allowed to see the dashboard video widget. Video Dashboard is especially useful for agencies, developers, site owners, and anyone who wants to give WordPress users an easy-to-find library of site-specific instructions or training material. Features Add as many videos as you need without selecting a fixed number of fields first. Drag and drop videos to change their order. Optional custom titles and descriptions for each video. Automatic title, provider, and thumbnail previews when available. Choose the minimum WordPress user role that can see the dashboard videos. Support for common YouTube URL formats, including standard links, share links, Shorts, embed URLs, live URLs, and URLs with additional parameters. Direct support for Vimeo, Wistia, and Vidyard. Support for additional providers through WordPress oEmbed when available. Raw 11-character YouTube IDs remain supported for backward compatibility. Existing settings from older Video Dashboard versions are migrated automatically without changing the original stored values. Legacy parsing remains available as a fallback for older configurations. Helpful admin messages distinguish between an unavailable preview and a video that a supported provider confirms no longer exists. Designed for Client Training Video Dashboard can be used as a simple training center inside WordPress. Agencies and developers can add site-specific tutorials for tasks such as editing pages, managing products, reviewing form entries, publishing posts, or performing other common website updates. Because the videos appear directly on the WordPress Dashboard, users do not need to search through old emails, documentation, or external training portals to find help. Backward Compatibility Version 2.0 was designed to preserve existing installations. Legacy numbered video fields are copied into the new sortable video list exactly as they were stored. The original legacy settings are left in the database as a recovery path, and the plugin retains its older parsing behavior as a fallback when the modern resolver cannot identify an existing value. Existing raw YouTube IDs and previously supported YouTube and Vimeo URLs remain supported.
