YouTube Plugin for WordPress provides you tons of awesome features for integrating YouTube with WordPress together. In this tutorial we will show you how to use this plugin to embed an entire YouTube channel as a playlist in your WordPress site. First thing you should know that if you have a YouTube video URL and you want it to embed in WordPress then all you have to do is paste the complete URL on its own line.
And if like showing two or more videos next to each other on same line then install and activate the YouTube plugin and wrap each link using the [embedyt]...[/embedyt] shortcode. For better results decrease the size of each video so that they can fit together on the same line. For details read “How To Override Defaults” section (by visiting Dashboard -> YouTube page after the plugin is activated) for height and width instructions.
For embedding playlists visit to the YouTube page for the playlist that lists all of its videos (Like This one here »). Click the video that you want the playlist to start with and copy and paste that browser’s URL into your WordPress post content area on its own line. If you like showing two or more playlists next to each other on same line then wrap each link with the [embedyt]...[/embedyt] shortcode.
