Let’s begin!

Create a Video Gallery with Elementor

Now to create a video gallery section, first, choose the page and open it in the elementor editor. Now look for the video gallery widget in the elementor widget area and drag and drop the Video Gallery Widget on the page.

Make sure to check the PP icon on the upper right corner of the video gallery widget.

This is the default layout of the PowerPack Video Gallery Widget.

Content Tab

Content tab includes four sub-sections: Gallery, Filter, Play Icon, and Gallery Settings.

In the Gallery subsection, you can choose your video Source, add Title, define a Description and add a Filter Label for your video.

Choose Your Video Source

You can mix and match multiple videos from multiple sources and define titles, descriptions for every single video.

Here I have chosen videos from YouTube, defined video titles, and added filters. This is how the video gallery layout looks like.

Enable Filter

The second subsection is Filter. Enable the filter toggle to see the filters of the video gallery.

Also you get the flexibility to customize the play button icon of your video gallery. You can either add an image as an icon type or choose an icon from the icon library.

The last subsection is Gallery Settings; as the name suggests here, you will find the advanced setting options for your video gallery. Here you can find options to:

• Display your Video Gallery Layout to be displayed in a grid or carousel.
• Define the number of columns
• Aspect ratio for videos
• Mute the videos
• Choose to play videos Inline or In Lightbox
• Define ordering for videos

Style Tab

In the style tab, you’ll find several settings to customize your video gallery as per your preference.

You can adjust the columns and rows gap. Customize video title and description in terms of color and typography.

Lastly, you get styling options to customize your filters. You can alter typography for filters and adjust the horizontal and vertical spacing. Choose a color and background color. Add a border type, define border-radius and padding, and even add a box shadow if you want to.

This is what a basic video gallery looks like after customizing the video gallery widget’s style settings.
