What’s new in YouTube & Vimeo Video Player and Slider With Playlist WordPress Plugin 3.9.1

Version 3.9.1 · Aug 26, 2026 Latest

What it does

Embedding videos one at a time with default players can leave a page looking scattered, especially when you want to present a series of clips together. This plugin gathers YouTube and Vimeo videos into a single player with a slider, so visitors can browse a set of videos in one place. For YouTube videos, it pulls thumbnails, titles and descriptions automatically from YouTube's servers, which saves you from typing that information in by hand.

Setup centers on video IDs: you enter the ID for each video and the plugin builds the player and slider. The layout is responsive by default and works on iOS and Android devices, with an option to turn responsiveness off for older, non-responsive sites. Color settings let you match the player to your branding. You can also add your own YouTube API key to work within Google's quota limits, which helps keep YouTube content loading as expected.

Best for

Bloggers presenting video series alongside written posts
Educators organizing lesson videos into a browsable playlist
Businesses and creatives featuring product or portfolio videos

Features

Your own YouTube API key

Enter a YouTube API key you generate yourself to handle Google's quota restrictions and keep YouTube video features working.

Questions about YouTube & Vimeo Video Player and Slider With Playlist WordPress Plugin

Can I use both YouTube and Vimeo videos in the same slider?

Yes. The plugin supports videos from both YouTube and Vimeo, and you add each one by entering its video ID. That lets you feature your own uploads or other videos from either platform in one player.

Do I have to type in titles and thumbnails for each video?

Not for YouTube videos. The plugin automatically retrieves thumbnails, titles and descriptions from YouTube's servers, so those details appear without manual entry once you add the video ID.

Why would I need a YouTube API key?

Google applies quota restrictions to YouTube API requests. The plugin lets you enter your own YouTube API key so those limits are tied to your account, which helps keep the YouTube features, like fetching video details, working without interruption.

Will it work on an older site that is not responsive?

Yes. The layout is responsive by default, but there is an option to disable responsiveness. That makes it easier to fit the player and slider into legacy or non-responsive site designs.
