🎯 Purpose

Create a multi-video experience in one widget. This allows users to seamlessly switch between several video clips or audio tracks, with a list to select from—all embedded directly on your page.


➕ Core Features

1. Multiple Media Items

  • Add any number of videos or audio files to your playlist.

  • Support for popular video platforms (YouTube, Vimeo) and self-hosted media files.

2. Main Display Area

  • Shows the currently selected video or audio player.

  • Automatically updates when users pick a different item from the playlist.

3. Playlist Navigation

  • Displays thumbnails or titles for each media item.

  • Users can click to switch to different clips or tracks easily.


⚙️ Content Configuration

  • Add Items: Upload or select each video/audio file.

  • Reorder: Use drag-and-drop to change item order.

  • Item Options: Customize thumbnail, title, caption, and link for each item.

  • Autoplay & Loop: Set whether the playlist advances automatically or loops after the last item.

  • Default Item: Choose which video plays first when the page loads.


🎨 Style & Layout Settings

Media Area Styling

  • Control width, aspect ratio, and player size.

  • Add border, padding, and background color around the media player.

Playlist Styling

  • Layout Direction: Horizontal bar or vertical list.

  • Thumbnails: Set size, spacing, and border radius.

  • Titles & Captions: Adjust typography—font, size, color, weight.

  • Spacing & Alignment: Space between playlist items; control alignment relative to the player.


🛠️ Advanced Options

  • Responsive Controls: Adjust layout and sizing separately for desktop, tablet, and mobile views.

  • Player Settings: Toggle player controls (play button, progress bar, volume, etc.).

  • Custom CSS & Attributes: Add unique styling or behavior with global or widget-specific code.

  • Motion Effects: Include entrance animations or transition effects when the widget appears.


✅ Use Cases

  • Educational Content: Offer lectures or tutorial sequences in a single interactive component.

  • Product Demonstrations: Showcase features with several product videos in one place.

  • Music/Podcasts: List multiple audio tracks in a savvy player setup.

  • Visual Presentations: Curate a curated showcase of multiple visual assets.


💡 Best Practices

  • Use consistent thumbnail size and style to create a cohesive look.

  • Enable autoplay sparingly to avoid overwhelming users with unexpected audio/video.

  • Maintain clear titles and captions for playlist clarity.

  • Tailor layout to screen size—horizontal lists on desktop, vertical on mobile for easier navigation.

  • Keep the design clean with appropriate spacing and harmonious colors.


The Video Playlist widget transforms your multimedia content into an organized, user-friendly experience, perfect for tutorials, demos, or creative showcases.
