How to add YouTube Slider to your website

Embed YouTube Slider on Your Website

01

Create a YouTube Slider widget for your website on Common Ninja

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

02

Save the YouTube Slider widget

When you're done creating the YouTube Slider 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 Slider Embed Code

When you're ready to add the YouTube Slider 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 Slider Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s YouTube Slider 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 Slider 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 Slider 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 Slider widget when you want a streamlined strip of YouTube videos that fits naturally into your layout and highlights motion without dominating the page. The slider shows thumbnails and titles in a row that visitors can scroll through, which is well suited for side sections, mid page breaks, and mobile views. It works for playlists, topic clusters, or curated selections of your best videos. Users can quickly browse options and play what interests them, all while staying on your site. This helps connect your YouTube presence to your web experience and increases the reach of your video library.
