What Is the Video Gallery Widget?
A video gallery widget displays multiple videos from YouTube or Vimeo in a grid, carousel, or list. Click any thumbnail to open a lightbox player. Standard pattern for project walkthroughs, time-lapse builds, and customer-testimonial videos.
Key Benefits
- Sources: YouTube playlist, Vimeo album, or hand-picked URL list
- Layouts: grid, carousel, masonry, single-feature with thumbnail strip
- Lightbox player with autoplay-on-click
- Lazy loading — thumbnails only; videos don't load until clicked
- Schema.org VideoObject markup for SEO eligibility
How Contractors Use It
- Project walkthroughs ("Tour this finished kitchen remodel")
- Time-lapse build videos for ADUs, additions, exterior work
- Customer-testimonial videos in a dedicated reviews page
