YouTube Website Widget

Help website visitors discover your entire video library — not just one video at a time. Display your YouTube channel or playlist as a beautiful, auto-updating feed with thumbnails, view counts, and engagement stats.

See It in Action

This is a live YouTube widget — fully interactive, auto-updating, and ready to embed on your website.

What is a YouTube Website Widget?

A YouTube website widget is an embeddable component that displays your YouTube channel videos or a specific playlist directly on your website. It automatically pulls video thumbnails, titles, descriptions, view counts, and like counts from YouTube via the official API, keeping your website updated with fresh video content without any manual work. Unlike YouTube's native single-video embed, a YouTube website widget shows your entire feed.

The Problem

You're creating great video content on YouTube, but your website visitors may never discover it. YouTube only offers single-video embeds — there's no native way to show your full channel or playlist as a feed on your website. Embedding videos one at a time is tedious and they don't update when you publish new content.

The Solution

Social Media Feeds provides a YouTube website widget that connects to your channel or playlist via the official YouTube Data API. It automatically displays your latest uploads on your website with customisable layouts, engagement stats, and auto-refresh — so your site stays current every time you upload a new video.

Key Features

Everything you need to embed and customise your YouTube videos on your website.

Channel & Playlist Support

Display videos from your entire channel or a specific playlist. Supports @handles, channel URLs, and playlist URLs — making setup as simple as pasting a link.

Eye-Catching Thumbnails

High-quality video thumbnails give visitors a visual preview of your content, driving more clicks through to your videos and boosting your YouTube views.

Engagement Social Proof

View counts, like counts, and comment counts alongside each video show visitors the popularity of your content and build authority.

Always Up to Date

Upload a new video to YouTube and your website reflects it automatically. No manual updates — your latest content is always front and centre.

Seamless Brand Match

Customise colours, fonts, border radius, and spacing so your YouTube widget looks like it was built into your website — not embedded from somewhere else.

One Line of Code

Embed your YouTube widget in seconds. WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, or custom HTML — it works everywhere.
