» YouTube Channel

Easily add multiple videos from any YouTube channel in just seconds. All the videos load as small thumbnails and link to a single video player, so it's nice and compact but extremely easy to use. You can use it for 3 videos or 30, it's up to you. The larger video plays back using AJAX, so there's no nasty page refreshes.

This add-on comes with 3 colour schemes - back, white and grey - or web designers can create their very own custom colour scheme (instructions are included).

Alternatively, just look at the page URL. Here's an example URL:

http://www.youtube.com/user/c5extras?feature=mhee

The part of the URL after the "user/" is the username - in this case "c5extras".

The username should never contain spaces.

Examples:

Example 1) Default black colour scheme with 8 videos shown.

Example 2) White colour scheme with 4 thumbnails PLUS upload date automatically displayed.

Example 3) Grey colour scheme with 12 thumbnails (don't be scared by the Japanese writing - it's videos from the C5 Japan crew).
