We got answers!

Is Curator’s YouTube widget free?

Yes, Curator’s YouTube widget is free forever and includes core features like three sources, daily updates, and responsive templates. When you’re ready for more views, faster refresh rates, or advanced tools like post pinning and API access, you can upgrade to an affordable premium plan anytime.

Can I embed YouTube Shorts?

Yes, you can embed YouTube Shorts using Curator. Simply connect your YouTube channel, then use our curation tools to remove standard horizontal videos. This allows you to create a clean, vertical feed featuring only short-form video content. It’s a great way to highlight high-impact visuals and capture attention quickly, especially for mobile-first users who are used to consuming short, snackable content.

Can I combine sources into one feed?

Yes, Curator lets you combine multiple content sources into a single unified feed. You can pull in videos from different YouTube channels, playlists, or hashtags. You can also mix in content from other platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and X to build a multi-network feed. This is perfect for showcasing a broader range of content and improving website engagement with fresh, diverse media.

Can I create multiple widgets?

Absolutely. You can create as many YouTube widgets as you need. This is ideal for brands running an aggregator site or multiple campaigns. For example, you could build separate widgets for different product categories, blog posts, or event pages. Use hashtags or playlists to organize themes and embed the right content in the right place for every section of your website.

How do I embed the widget on my site?

Embedding your YouTube widget is quick and easy. Once you’ve created your widget in the Curator dashboard, you’ll receive a simple embed code. Copy and paste that code into your site, whether you’re using WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, or any other platform. You can also use our WordPress plugin for even faster setup. Your YouTube Feed will appear and update automatically.

Can I show videos from any YouTube channel?

Yes, you can display content from any public YouTube channel, not just your own. This is ideal for featuring partners, influencers, or curated content from your industry. Whether you manage the channel or not, as long as the videos are publicly available, Curator can pull them in and display them beautifully on your site through your custom widget.

Can I embed a YouTube playlist instead of a full channel?

Yes, Curator allows you to embed a specific YouTube playlist rather than an entire channel. This gives you more control over what content appears in your widget. Whether it’s a curated list of tutorials, testimonials, or product videos, using a YouTube playlist lets you deliver focused, high-value content that aligns perfectly with the goals of each webpage.

Will my widget work on all devices?

Yes, Curator’s YouTube widget is built with responsive design in mind. It adjusts automatically to fit screens of all sizes, including desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. This ensures your videos look great and function properly no matter how your visitors access your site. A responsive widget helps you deliver a seamless viewing experience that keeps website visitors engaged.

Is the widget fast and lightweight?

Yes. Curator is optimized for speed and performance. Our YouTube Player Widget uses lightweight code that won’t slow down your site. It loads quickly across all devices and won’t interfere with other content or features on your pages. Whether you’re embedding one video feed or multiple widgets, your site will remain fast, reliable, and fully functional.
