Video Gallery Block – showcase your videos in a filterable gallery vs Video Gallery for YouTube – turn your channel into a stunning gallery

Turn scattered YouTube and Vimeo videos into a beautiful, filterable gallery your visitors can browse and play in a lightbox – no code required. Video Gallery Block | Pricing | Support | Demo Why Video Gallery Block? Video Gallery Block is a lightweight WordPress video gallery plugin that lets you create responsive video galleries, YouTube galleries, Vimeo galleries, and video collections directly inside the Gutenberg block editor. Organize videos into albums, let visitors filter by category, and play everything in an elegant lightbox popup. Thumbnails are generated automatically (or upload your own poster images), captions keep every video labeled, and scripts load only when the block is used so your site stays fast. The Pro version adds self-hosted HTML5 and Wistia sources plus advanced layouts like sliders, carousels, masonry grids, and playlist galleries – ideal for video portfolios, product galleries, training libraries, and course videos. Free Features Responsive Video Gallery Block: Clean grid layouts that automatically adapt to desktop, tablet, and mobile screens. Album & Filter System: Organize videos into albums and let visitors filter by category. Responsive Column Layouts: Set different column numbers for desktop, tablet, and mobile. Multiple Video Sources: Add videos from YouTube and Vimeo (Wistia & self-hosted HTML5 supported in Pro). Custom Styling Controls: Adjust spacing, padding, borders, backgrounds, and shadows from the block settings. Automatic or Custom Thumbnails: Auto-generate thumbnails or upload custom poster images. Video Captions: Add captions or titles to each video in the gallery. Lightbox Video Popup: Play videos in an elegant popup lightbox. Bulk Import: Paste a list of video links, one per line, and the gallery fills itself in — titles and posters come from YouTube and Vimeo automatically, with no API key to set up. Thumbnail Shape: Lay tiles out as 16:9, 4:3, 1:1 or 9:16 for vertical Shorts and Reels, instead of a fixed pixel height. Video SEO Markup (free): Every video is described to Google and AI search with Schema.org VideoObject JSON-LD, so your gallery can appear as a video result. Comparable plugins sell this as a premium add-on. Ready-Made Section Patterns: Five fully configured patterns in the inserter — Video gallery with album filters, Course video library, Product demo showcase, Customer video stories, and Portfolio showreel wall — so you start from a finished layout, not a blank block. Show / Hide Filter Bar: A dedicated toggle to show or hide the album filter buttons. Cached Thumbnails: YouTube and Vimeo thumbnails are downloaded into your Media Library once and served from your own site after that — no third-party request on every page view, and no more thumbnails that go missing when a provider reshuffles its sizes. Load More Pagination: Set how many videos show at first; a Load More button reveals the rest, so a large gallery doesn’t overwhelm the page on first paint. YouTube Shorts Filter: Show every video, hide Shorts, or show only Shorts — detected from the link itself, no API key needed. Play Icon on Thumbnails: A play icon over every tile, so it reads as a video before anyone hovers or clicks — color, size, and the hover zoom are all customizable, or turn it off entirely. Item Border & Shadow: Round the corners and add a drop shadow to each thumbnail tile, independent of the gallery container’s own border and shadow. Server-Side Rendered: The gallery is built on the server, so search engines and visitors see it instantly — even on sites that delay JavaScript (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, Perfmatters). Optimized Script Loading: Scripts load only when the block is used, keeping your site fast. Translation Ready: Fully compatible with multilingual websites. Sort Order: Show videos in the order you added them, or automatically sort by Newest First / Oldest First — no need to re-order videos by hand after a Bulk Import. Row Alignment: Control how a leftover row (one that doesn’t fill every column) lines up — left, center, or right — instead of it always being stretched or left stranded on one side. Per-Device Column & Row Gap: Set the spacing between tiles separately for desktop, tablet, and mobile, the same way column counts already work per device. Facebook Video Support: Add Facebook videos to the gallery alongside YouTube and Vimeo, using Facebook’s public embed — no app or API key required. GDPR Consent-Gated Embeds: Optionally require a visitor’s consent before any YouTube, Vimeo, or Facebook player loads, so the gallery doesn’t set third-party cookies until someone agrees to watch. Google Analytics 4 Video Tracking: Send a video_start event (with title, provider, and URL) to window.dataLayer whenever a visitor plays a video — works with GA4 or Google Tag Manager already on the site, nothing extra to configure.
