Step 3: Customize YouTube Gallery Appearance & Settings

You can easily give your YouTube Gallery widget a look that perfectly matches your website! In this article, you'll learn how to make it stylish, colorful, and uniquely yours.

Setting up your YouTube Gallery is simple and takes just three steps. You’re currently on:

Mastering Style and Colors

In the Appearance tab, you can pick a Color Scheme to set the overall look and feel of your widget. You can choose from the default themes:

Alternatively, you can style each element individually — header, video, popup, menu, and more. Just click on the block you want to edit in the left-hand menu. For a quick visual guide, check out this screencast:

Advanced Settings

The Advanced tab gives you more control over how your widget works and interacts with your site. Here’s what you can configure:

• Language
• YouTube API key
• AdSense
• Privacy-Enhanced Mode

Language

You can change the language of your widget using the Language dropdown:

Please note that custom text, like your channel name or video titles, won’t be automatically translated. Only default YouTube labels (such as view count, subscribers, etc.) will change when you switch the language.

YouTube API key

An API key is a unique code that allows the widget to access YouTube’s data, such as videos, playlists, or channel information.

Each YouTube Gallery widget comes with a default API key, so you don’t need to add one manually. If you'd like to use your own key — for an independent quota and improved stability — add it to the YouTube API Key field:

AdSense

With the YouTube Gallery widget, you can not only show videos from YouTube but also monetize your content using AdSense. AdSense is Google’s tool for placing ads on your website or YouTube channel.

Here’s an example of AdSense in the widget:

To show ads in your widget, just set up AdSense and add your IDs in the AdSense section:

Privacy-Enhanced Mode

Turn on Privacy-Enhanced Mode to play videos using youtube-nocookie.com domain and keep your visitors’ data safer. Note that when this mode is on, the Subscribe button in the header and popup will be disabled because it relies on cookies:

Congratulations! Your YouTube Gallery widget is set up and ready to make your site even cooler. 😎
