To add a video to a post or page simply use the shortcode [youtube]video[/youtube], where video is the ID or URL of the video. Alternatively, you can add one (or more) widgets to your sidebar.
Within the administration area of your blog you will find a new menu named YouTube (see screenshot 1). Click on the Options sub-menu to set a number of general options. Alternatively click on the Profiles sub-menu to set the default options which define the output of your videos - any videos you display (unless overridden by parameters - more on that later) will use the settings from the Profiles screen.
You can read read the Full Documentation to learn about all the capabilities of Vixy YouTube Embed. This also includes details on how to migrate from another embedding plugin.
Help is always available from the WordPress administration pages - just click on the "Help" button in the top right. If the Help and FAQ don't have an answer, ask us on the forum.

Hey, first of all i must say im newbie at wp, but… what do you mean by “visting YouTube Embed options screen in your Administration menu” ? You mean the plugin’s editor? Or there should appear new entry under plugins with yt embed and it isn’t showing for me?
If you go into the Admin screen, on the left sidebar you should find “Settings” (a few menus under Plugins). Somewhere near the bottom of that menu uou should find “YouTube Embed”.
Found it, thanks. But i have really strange problem. Plugin is working fine but after i’ve installed it i can’t access general options (blank white page showing instead). Could you tell me if installing your youtube plugin modified any wp .php files?
No it doesn’t. Have you tried deactivating my plugin to see if this restores the general options page? If this fixes it, let me know.
Well… i have similar problems with other plugins. And i’ve just noticed that the webserver where my wp is installed is a problem. I’ve installed local web server and wordpress. Your plugin is working fine, not causing any problems. Sorry to bother you.
What I have to do to make it working with excerpts?
Unless anybody knows otherwise, my belief is that excerpts have all code stripped from them, so any video output will not display.
Shortcode doesnt work for me. inside my post i typed [youtube]LirLYTfM0SY[/youtube] and all i get is a black box in dimensions i wanted with right and bottom scrollbars.
this is the video i want to embed
I’ve tried it on my own site with no issues.
The best thing to do is to get the source for the page (view/source in your browser probably) and send me the resultant file via my contact form.
I figured it out. I went to http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/youtube-embed/other_notes/ and copied the shortcode but if you look at the source code of that page it comes up with < code>[youtube]id[/youtube]< /code>
Now if you type that inside any of your pages or posts it wont work as it didnt for me but if you type [youtube]LirLYTfM0SY[/youtube] it will work flawlessly. Figured it out when I switched to HTML vierw in my WP editor.
So correct this on your WP plugin page cause I think other people will just want to copy/paste [youtube]LirLYTfM0SY[/youtube] but they will get additional buggy code elements.
Thanks for the update. The CODE parameter is used to highlight code elements on the page – this is valid for the instructions page and not something I’d therefore want to remove.
The best advice is to cut and paste items like this into the “HTML” window when editing posts and not the “Visual” one – it doesn’t happen then.
First let me say, I really like this plugin! Thank you!
What does the option, “Enable Enhanced Genie Menu” do? I’m not seeing the difference when I switch it from “Yes” to “No”
Thanks in advance for your help!
lol. I’m not sure myself
According to the YouTube documentation…
I put the switchable option on simply because it exists. What it actually does is a different matter!
I added a playlist that contains 10 videos, but the player always displays 7 thumbnails and reads, “1-7 of 10″. Is there a setting or something else I can change so that it dispays all 10 thumbnails?
Sadly, YouTube provide few instructions on embedding playlists – they state that some of the standard video embedding parameters work, but don’t say which ones. They also don’t mention any additional ones. This is going to be a YouTube issue rather than a problem with the plugin one though.
Hey I have a feature request for this great plugin.
Can you make a checkbox that would say: Default to 480p, cause sometimes there is no HD quality available and I would like to be able to offer my visitors 480p at least and not the default 360p.
Thanks in advance
Unfortunately, YouTube do not provide an option to do that. Switching on the HD option should provide the best quality available though – does that not do it?
Yea it does but if HD quality doesnt exist I at least want to play it by default in 480p. But I see your point so nvm.

I activated your plugin. I noticed that some things don’t work. I posted an HD video and the plugin doesn’t start the video automatically in HD (even if I selected this option). Then the colour scheme doesn’t match, in my blog appears the video with the classic grey colour. At the end, even if I put “text-align:center” the video isn’t center aligned. In the preview page of Youtube Embed Options I see all the options applied correctly.
Garret, I’ve emailed you about this as I would like some further detail – specifically the default settings you have and the line of code you’re using to display your video. I can then try and recreate the issue myself.
If I would like to include a list of videos from posts on a category page, for example, and I want to include the function call in “the loop”, is there some functional reference (I’m sure there is) to the ‘id’ parameter so I can call them via the loop?
Yes there is – if you look through the instructions, there is a section named “Function Call” which details how to manually call the routine from within your own code.
Thanks for this plugin. I was glad to find a way to NOT show the related videos, but even when I uncheck that option in the settings, they still show. Any ideas? Thanks.
Oh also, it would be helpful if you would replace the deleted YouTube test video on the admin defaults page. Maybe you are not aware it has been deleted for copyright infringment.
After further discussion with Sally, I found that in her site’s source code the YouTube video was being displayed by YouTuber – another YouTube embedding plugin that she hadn’t turned off first. I used pretty standard shortcodes to make it easier to move from another plugin, but the down side is that running both will cause a clash. She deactivated YouTuber and she has no problems since.
I believe the embed have something wrong: http://twitpic.com/23mlqp
The errors you’ve got there are not reported via the official W3C validator. For example, it states that
<param>shouldn’t have an end tag – that’s correct for HTML but not XHTML (which this plugin is coded for). None of the issues reported should cause problems, whichever way we look at it.Yes, only warings, not big deal, but and object with style for set width and height be more valid, right?
I change this lines for xhtml validation:
http://pastebin.com/ryTn6Cyf
I have just released version 1.2, which will address these errors.
Hello- I really like this plugin and the initial installation was fine. I installed the plugin to my widget (with the Blog’s sidebar) but now I cannot find any options or parameters to change so that I can change the videos. Please help. Thanks!
If you go back into Appearance -> Widgets from your admin menu, then the widget should be shown under the appropriate sidebar. Next to the widget name is an “arrow down”. Click on this to bring up the options.
Pingback: Prevent youtube from covering optincrusher | optincrusher
Hi, Was loving the plugin — I switched from Smart YouTube to yours — until I just discovered the widget is NOT multi-instance.
Am I correct in thinking I can only use the widget in one place?
Anyway to change that? I really need to use the widget more than once.
ALSO, I really really need a “random” function. I tried two other plugins that promised “random” video selection in the sidebar. Neither plugin has been updated in 3 years and now 1 doesn’t show anything and the other only throws up error code.
I have 6 videos and want to show them randomly when a person hits a page.
Possible in a future release?
Hi Bob,
I’m looking at the multiple widget functions. I’ve not written many widget functions before, and have needed more than one
Anyway, I’m working out how to do it.
The random function I’ll also add to my “to do” list!
Hello and thanks for this plugin. Seems like the most simple one to do what I need it to. I’m having one problem using the thumbnail shortcode. I am wrapping the id in [youtube_thumb][/youtube_thumb], but my sidebar is only displaying the ID, not the image. Any help is appreciated.
Unless you’ve activated shortcodes for the sidebar in your functions.php it won’t work – you should use the PHP function version instead.

Hi David, When I attempt to put a playlist in a page, i get the following output instead. This might be me confusing where to find the playlist code on youtube, can you clarify this for me?
The output on my page is: YouTube Embed: No video/playlist ID has been supplied
9EAD7C7BE801C985 YouTube Embed: No video/playlist ID has been supplied
The link to the playlist is: http://www.youtube.com/user/hurricaneelectric#grid/user/9EAD7C7BE801C985
I don’t know how you’re calling my plugin, but the following shortcode method works for me…
[youtube_playlist]9EAD7C7BE801C985[/youtube_playlist]
Oh man interesting now it works…..:) well thanks again!

good day to all, very nice plugin i love it i have a question i need your help when i put the video in the sidebar fine it’s showing in my site but the widget disapeare from the list i have as yhis it’s impossible to put an other video manny thanks in advance for your help i am using wordpress 3.0.4 ciao from italy
Hi Joe. That’s because the plugin currently only supports one widget at a time. I’m planning on improving this in the next major release of the plugin.
hi David, many thanks for the answer, if i want to put more than one how can’i do, it’s impossible !!!!!
Hi David,
Thanks for this plugin. Did you ever manage to include a random function? I would love to pull up a random vid out of my videos.
Thanks
It’s still on my list for the next release!
Is there a way to make the video not go back to YouTube? I want to keep the visitors on my page. I’ve heard you can use this code w/embed “allowNetworking=”internal” to disable the function of going to YT to view the video. Is it possible to add this to the short code? If so, how?
thanks
Thanks for letting me know about this – it’s not in the official documentation but does appear to be a valid parameter. I’ll add it to the next release.
