Features

What can Youtube Video Gallery do for you?

Eight feature areas, one install package for Joomla 4, 5 and 6.

YouTube Watch Page & More

Five Gallery Layouts

YouTube Layout: Authentic watch-page feel with a 16:9 player and scrollable playlist beside the video.
Sidebar, Grid, Stacked & Cinema: Pick a clean sidebar list, thumbnail grid under the player, vertical stacked list, or immersive Cinema widescreen with a framed stage.

Smart Video Management

Auto-fill from URL

Paste Any YouTube Link: Watch, embed, Shorts, and youtu.be URLs are supported. Title and thumbnail auto-fill in the admin.
Instant Preview: See the thumbnail preview immediately when you add a video in the repeatable playlist field.

Easy Content Discovery

Playlist Search

Filter by Title: Enable search so visitors can narrow a long playlist without leaving the page.
Active Video Highlight: The current item shows a “Now” badge and accent border so users always know what is playing.

Match Your Brand

Themes & Accent Colour

Four Built-in Themes: YouTube Dark, Light, Soft, and Dark — each tuned for readable playlists and search inputs.
Accent & Radius: Set accent colour, corner radius, gap, and optional Extra CSS for fine-tuning without editing core files.

Modern Browser Friendly

Playback Controls

Click-to-Play Poster: Shows a thumbnail and play button first; the iframe loads only when the user chooses a video — faster and privacy-conscious.
Autoplay, Loop & Fullscreen: Autoplay with mute option, loop modes, fullscreen toggle, and related-video control via module settings.

Desktop & Mobile

Responsive Layout

Synced Playlist Height: On desktop, the playlist column matches the player height so the layout stays tight like youtube.com.
Mobile Stack: Player and playlist reflow on smaller screens for comfortable touch browsing.

youtube-nocookie.com

Privacy-Enhanced Embed

No Cookie Domain: Embeds use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced host until the visitor plays a video.
Loading Feedback: A spinner appears while the iframe initialises so users know playback is starting.

J5 Services Architecture

Joomla 4, 5 & 6

Modern Extension Structure: Service provider, Dispatcher, and Helper namespace — built for Joomla 5 best practices.
Vanilla JS & PHP 8+: No jQuery on the front end. Lightweight assets and 12 language packs included.

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.
