So I spent hours trying to find a WordPress Plugin that would display my YouTube videos as a gallery on my web page. Most of the free ones added a watermark plus had limited features. Finally I came across a great plugin called Huge-IT Video Gallery.
Here are the 5 options of the HugeIT Video Gallery Plugin:
1. Content Pop-up
If you click on any of the videos in the gallery it will show a video with the content next to it.
2. Content Video Slider
If you click on the arrow at the bottom of each slide it will show the next video.
3. Lightbox Video Gallery
If you click on any one of the videos in the gallery a lightbox will pop-up and if you go to the bottom here you can just scroll through the different videos in the gallery.
4. Video Slider
If you click on the arrow at the bottom of the video it show the next video.
5. Thumbnail Gallery
So if you click on any of the thumbnail images then a lightbox pops up and you can scroll through them by clicking the arrow at the bottom.
