I’m brand new to Elfsight. Question: If I had the Basic plan and use the YouTube Gallery, can I clone/copy another YouTube Gallery instance and use it on other apges without consuming more than “one” widget? Example: if I have one page 'client reviews" on a page with YouTube Gallery, then make a new YouTube Gallery playlist and embed into a page called “open house tours” with different videos? Would this example take up “Two” of the Three widgets or would it only count as “one” widget but used 2, 3, or more times on different pages containing different videos but always on the same domain?
Thanks!
I’m a bit lost. So, if I make a YouTube Widget with 5 particular videos in a playlist, but then want to make another YouTube Widget with a different playlist of 7 other videos, that would be considered a second widget thereby using 2 out of 3 widgets in the Basic Plan?
Yes, if you want to have 2 different widgets installed on different pages (1st widget with 5 videos from a certain playlist and 2nd widget with 7 videos from a different playlist), it’ll be counted as 2 different widgets. Thus, 2/3 widgets given within Basic plan will be used.
However, if you need to display different playlist on 1 webpage, you can add several playlists to 1 widget:
I’m new and this is a free account, but, why do I not see any of my YouTube videos in this widget in the admin panel? It’s blank. I did, for sure, put the copy/paste of the video URLs in their place…but nothing shows and I have done nothing else. Meaning, I only look at the view in the admin panel because I didn’t want to use the html/code in my site until I see it work in the admin panel (it should, right?). Help!
To get the correct link format for all the other videos, you just need to click on the first link (that you’ve added to the widget) and copy the result:
Why does the viewer/audience have to click twice just to play a video in the YouTube widget? When I test it, one click only produces a play triangle and then after nothing happens, we have to click again to play?
1)Why can’t it be one-click to play?
2) Is there an option to keep the “YouTube” word off when you (click twice) play the video?
3) Is there options to make video a little bigger when viewing on iPhone when using 2 colums? Because, unfortunately, they are “postage stamp” size.
Could you just provide me with a screenshot of the Youtube word you’d like to remove and a video screencast of the double-click issue?
Also, it would be really helpful if you could send me a direct link to the webpage where your widget is installed, so that I could check the mobile view.
I’m only on my phone this moment and have not installed the widget yet. As for the word, “YouTube” showing up on the lower right, that would be a text and link to take people to the YouTube page externally by clicking it.
I can not fix this!!! All I did was change Video from Inline to Pop Up…then when it failed, I changed back to Inline….and THIS is all it does! Help! An endless circle animates…and now video!

I copied/pasted my normal URL to my YouTube videos into the Category section of the YouTube Widget and, while it did work for about 10 minutes, no matter how many times I re-do this, now I only get an endless circle animation (loading?)…it never ends. Also, how can we remove the “blur” effect in Accent and Minimal settings for the Header? I want a clear picture, not a forced blurred image.
I can’t bring myself to get a paid version of this system if the basics on the Free version do not seem to work. (I really want it to work!).
Could you please double-check your API Key and let me know if it helped?
As for the video small size on mobile editor and double-click on mobile, unfortunately, there is no option to change this behavior. I am so sorry!
Just in case, I’d like to inform you that you need to click twice to play the video only on mobile. On desktop you have to click once to play the video.
