    I’m trying to create a video gallery using YouTube links, but some videos aren’t displaying correctly. A few thumbnails are missing, and clicking on the videos doesn’t always play them in the lightbox. Do I need to enable a special setting for embedded YouTube videos? Also, is there a way to autoplay videos when clicked? Any tips would be appreciated!

    Thanks for reaching out! The issue may be related to the format of the YouTube links. If you’re using newer or shortened YouTube URLs, some of them might not be fully supported yet. Please share a few examples with us, and we’ll test them. If needed, we’ll update the plugin to support these formats.

    Our gallery supports two video modes. You can create a dedicated YouTube gallery using the gallery wizard, or you can add YouTube links to other gallery types, such as Masonry, Mosaic, or Regular Grid. If you’re using YouTube links in these general gallery types, no special configuration is required. However, if you’re using the YouTube Gallery type, you’ll need to add your YouTube API key in the gallery’s general settings.

    For autoplay, YouTube videos do not automatically start playing in lightbox mode due to browser restrictions, but you can enable the autoplay option in the settings to see if it works within your setup. Let us know if you need any help, we’re happy to assist!
