FAQ
Questions about Youtube Video Gallery
Still unsure? Our support team is one ticket away.
How do I add videos to the Youtube VideoList Gallery?
Open Content → Site Modules, edit your module, and go to the Videos tab. Click Add in the Video Playlist repeater, paste a YouTube URL (watch, embed, Shorts, or youtu.be link), and the title and thumbnail auto-fill. Drag rows to reorder the playlist.
Which gallery layout should I use?
For the familiar youtube.com watch experience, choose Layout → YouTube with Theme → YouTube Dark. Use Sidebar for a lighter editorial list, Grid for thumbnails under the player, Stacked for a vertical list, or Cinema for a widescreen framed player.
Can I enable autoplay for the first video?
Yes. In the Player tab, set Autoplay First Video to Yes. Modern browsers usually block sound on autoplay, so enable Mute on Autoplay as well. Without mute, many browsers show a black player until the user interacts.
Why does the video show a poster and play button first?
Version 3.3 loads the YouTube iframe only when a visitor clicks play or selects a playlist item. This improves page speed, reduces third-party cookies until playback, and avoids autoplay policy issues. Autoplay mode skips the poster and loads the iframe immediately.
Can I customize the player and playlist width?
Yes. On YouTube, Sidebar, and Cinema layouts, use Player Width (%) (40–85) to balance the player and playlist columns. Adjust Gap and Corner Radius on the Layout tab. Grid and Stacked layouts use a single full-width column.
Is the gallery responsive on mobile?
Yes. The module reflows on smaller screens so the player and playlist stack comfortably. Playlist search, thumbnails, and touch-friendly item targets work on phones and tablets.
Can I show or hide video titles in the playlist?
Yes. Use Show Titles in the Player tab. Thumbnails always display; titles can be hidden for a more compact list.
Can I embed multiple galleries on the same page?
Yes. Create separate module instances, each with its own playlist and settings. Every instance gets a unique ID and scoped CSS variables, so they do not conflict.
Which Joomla and PHP versions are supported?
Youtube VideoList Gallery 3.3 supports Joomla 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x with PHP 8.0+. Joomla 3.x is not supported in this release.
How do I match the YouTube website colours?
Set Gallery Layout to YouTube, Colour Theme to YouTube Dark, and leave the default accent #ff0000. Place the playlist on the right for the standard watch-page layout.
