YouWall: Shorts and Video Feed for YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKfg8sZ2GuE YouWall puts your YouTube Shorts and your regular videos on your website. Shorts show up as tall 9:16 tiles, the way they look in the YouTube app. Regular videos show up as 16:9 tiles with their length. When a visitor clicks one, it plays in a popup and they stay on your page. You can show only Shorts, only videos, or both together with two tabs. You add your channel once. After that, new uploads appear on your site by themselves. What you get

• A Shorts grid with tall tiles. The title and view count sit on the cover.
• A video grid with 16:9 tiles, showing length, views and upload date. Shorts are left out of this one.
• A slider you can swipe on a phone, with arrows and dots on desktop. It can also move on its own.
• Shorts and Videos tabs, so one feed covers both and visitors pick.
• A popup player. Press Esc or click outside it to close.
• A Load more button that adds the next batch without reloading the page.
• Fewer columns on phones, without any setup.
• Your own spacing, corners, borders and button colors, set in YouWall > Style or per widget in Elementor.

Three ways to add a feed

1. In the block editor, add the "YouWall" block. You pick the options in the sidebar and see a preview right away.
2. In Elementor, drag in the "YouWall" widget.
3. Anywhere else, paste [youwall]. The settings page has a small tool that writes the shortcode for you.

Easy on your API quota YouTube gives every API key 10,000 free units a day. This plugin only uses the cheap requests, which cost 1 unit each. It never uses YouTube's search request, which costs 100. Results are saved on your site for two hours by default, so most visitors cost nothing at all. The "Load more" button only works for feeds your own site shows. Nobody can use your site, and your key, to look up other channels. Privacy Videos play from youtube-nocookie.com by default, so YouTube sets no cookies until someone presses play. The player itself only loads after a click. The plugin collects no data about your visitors. Accessible Every tile is a real button, so it works with the keyboard. Focus stays inside the popup while it is open and goes back to the video you came from when it closes. The slider stops moving when someone hovers over it, has a pause button, and never moves on its own for visitors who turn off animations on their device. Shortcode options All options are optional. Anything you leave out uses the default from YouWall > Display.
