Let us now go over each of these sections in more detail.

There are several options in the Gallery section of the Elementor’s Video Gallery widget that can help you customize your Video Gallery. Let us go through each of the options below:
- Source: Here, you can choose the source from where the videos in the Video Gallery widget will be fetched. You have an option to display videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, or can self-host the videos on your site too.
- URL: In this tab, you can provide the URL of your YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, or self-hosted videos.
- Filter Label: You can filter the platform from which the video is been fetched.
- Video Title: If you want to display the title of the video, then you can use this option.

Filter#
You can change the label of the filter using the “All” Filter Label option. The alignment of the filters can be changed to Left, Right, and Center. It is also possible to change the pointer and apply an animation effect to it.
Play Icon#
Now you can customize the Play Icon of the video. You can either choose an “Icon” or an “Image” and if you do not need an icon, you can choose none.
Gallery Settings#
You can choose the layout of the video as “Grid” or “Carousel”. Next, you can choose the number of “Columns” and select the “Aspect ratio” of the video. Once that is done, you can further choose a “Preload” option in case you have created a self-hosted video. You can also mute the video by enabling it.
