Display YouTube, Vimeo and DailyMotion videos in a beautiful, fully responsive video grid with a pop-up lightbox — no coding required.
Video Grid is a free WordPress video grid plugin that turns a list of video links into a clean, responsive grid your visitors can watch in a modern lightbox, without ever leaving your page. Just paste a video URL and the plugin automatically fetches the thumbnail, title and description for you.
Add, edit, reorder and preview your grid from the admin panel, then place it anywhere with a simple shortcode or the native Gutenberg block — it works with any theme.
Why choose Video Grid?
- Paste a link, done — thumbnail, title and description are fetched automatically for YouTube, Vimeo and DailyMotion.
- Watch in a lightbox — visitors play videos in a responsive pop-up player instead of being redirected away from your site.
- Modern or classic — choose the new lightweight modern grid and lightbox engines (fast, responsive, no jQuery), or keep the classic ones. Existing sites are never changed on upgrade.
- Gutenberg block included — build your grid right inside the block editor, no shortcode needed.
- Fully responsive — the grid and lightbox look great on desktop, tablet and mobile.
- No ads in your grids — clean output on your site.
