Wix Video: Adding a YouTube Feed
3 min read
Add a YouTube feed as a channel in your site's Wix Video widget. For example, if you are a personal trainer, you can display a series of fitness videos to motivate your audience.
Once a YouTube feed is connected, each new video you add from the linked YouTube channel or playlist automatically syncs to the widget.
Note:
YouTube videos set to private are not supported and may not display properly in Wix Video. Make sure the videos you want to add are set to "public".
Step 1 | Find your playlist URL on YouTube
Go to YouTube and locate the playlist you want to add to your site. Copy the playlist URL. You can choose any public YouTube playlist, as long as the playlist has 50 videos or less.
To find your playlist URL on YouTube:
- Go to YouTube.com and access the relevant YouTube profile.
- Click the Playlists tab.
- Click View full playlist under the relevant playlist.
- Copy the playlist URL from your browser's web address bar at the top.
Note: Make sure to copy the full playlist URL not an individual video URL.
Step 2 | Add a YouTube feed to Wix Video
Once you've copied your playlist URL, add a YouTube feed to your site from the Channels tab. Site visitors can then view the videos through the Wix Video widget.
To add a YouTube feed:
- Go to Video Library in your site's dashboard.
- Click the Channels tab in the side panel on the left.
- Hover over the New Channel drop-down at the top right and select YouTube Feed.
- Paste your YouTube channel or playlist URL in the text field.
- Click Connect.
Note:
It may take several hours for your embedded YouTube playlist on Wix to sync with the latest uploads on your YouTube channel.
