How to add YouTube Carousel to your website

Embed YouTube Carousel on Your Website

01

Create a YouTube Carousel widget for your website on Common Ninja

First, create a YouTube Carousel widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the YouTube Carousel and enter the Editor.

02

Save the YouTube Carousel widget

When you're done creating the YouTube Carousel widget, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the YouTube Carousel Embed Code

When you're ready to add the YouTube Carousel widget to your website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the widget embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your website.

04

Paste the code to your Platform website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Platform website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Platform’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the YouTube Carousel Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s YouTube Carousel widget on your Platform website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s YouTube Carousel widget on your Platform widget. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Platform website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the YouTube Carousel widget to your Platform website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Platform website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the YouTube Carousel widget when your YouTube channel is a core asset and you want to integrate that content directly into your site in a structured way. Rather than embedding a single video or a cluttered grid, you can highlight selected uploads in a smooth carousel that fits your design. This works well for tutorials, testimonials, product updates, and playlists. Visitors remain on your site while they browse and watch, which lets you frame videos with additional context and calls to action. At the same time, you drive more views to your YouTube content, supporting growth on that platform as well.
