Video Gallery Block – showcase your videos in a filterable 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.
