Step 3: Connect Your YouTube Account

Once you connect your YouTube account, the plugin can fetch the videos and display them on your website. And the best way to do that is to enter a YouTube API key.

In case you don’t have an API key yet, take a look at our beginner’s guide on how to create your YouTube API key.

Then, you can return to your website and paste the key into the popup before clicking on Next.

All you have to do is open the playlist on your browser and copy the code from the end of the URL.

You also have the List layout, which will show your YouTube videos in a single column.

That means each video will take more space on your website so visitors can see them more clearly.
