So you’re trying to add a collection of videos to your Wordpress site. Maybe you want a sleek video gallery, a responsive grid, or just a polished video player for individual videos. You can do all of that with Clipara in just a few clicks.

There’s no coding required, so anyone can use this method. In this guide, we’ll show you the quick steps to add your video gallery, grid, or other video embeds to your Wordpress website.

What’s Important for Embedding Video in Wordpress?

1. Page Speed
   When adding videos to your website, loading speed is a top priority. Clipara takes care of this, ensuring your site doesn’t get bogged down by heavy MP4s or YouTube embeds. It loads video assets only when users interact with them, keeping your website fast and reducing bounce rates.
2. Ease of Installation
   Getting your videos up and running shouldn’t feel like solving a puzzle. Choose a video platform that provides simple embed codes. Wordpress’s HTML embed functionality makes it easy to drop in external video galleries or grids with a quick copy-paste—no advanced technical skills required.
3. User Experience
   A great video experience keeps visitors engaged. Ensure videos don’t autoplay simultaneously, and make it easy for users to navigate between videos. Intuitive controls for pausing, sound, and navigation will improve overall usability.
4. On-Brand Experience
   Your video gallery should feel like a natural part of your website’s design. Clipara helps you customize the style to match your branding. This ensures your site feels cohesive, unlike platforms like YouTube or TikTok, which often display off-brand suggested content.

Adding videos can significantly enhance your site’s appeal and modernize the experience for your users. Whether it’s product demos, testimonials, tutorials, or user-generated content, a video gallery or grid provides an impactful way to present your content in a clean, organized layout.

In this instance you will choose Carousel.

Step 3

Select the videos you want to use in the carousel and choose the order of them.

‍

Step 4

Customise your campaign. There's a lot of possibilities here. As well as changing layouts and colours, you can also customise thumbnails, add titles to videos and more.

‍

Step 5

It's now time to install your campaign on Wordpress. Click save, and copy the install snippet that pops up in the Clipara dashboard.

3. In the WordPress editor, click Add Block and select Custom HTML.
4. Paste the Clipara embed code into the HTML block.
5. Click Update or Publish to save your changes.
