Installation

Install the app and display videos on your store

Updated this week

YouTube Video Gallery lets you display your YouTube videos directly on your Shopify store. Setup takes about 5 minutes: connect your YouTube account, create a gallery, and add it to your theme.

Install the App

  1. Find YouTube Video Gallery in the Shopify App Store and click Add app

  2. Review the permissions and click Install app

  3. You’ll land on the app dashboard

Connect Your YouTube Account

  1. On the dashboard, click Connect Channel

  2. Sign in with your Google account and allow access

  3. You’ll see a list of your YouTube channels — select the one you want to use and click Add Channel

  4. The app imports your videos automatically

If you manage a business channel (Brand Account), make sure you select that channel rather than your personal one.

Create a Gallery

A gallery is a collection of videos you want to display on a specific page of your store.

  1. Go to Galleries and click Create Gallery

  2. Give it a name (e.g., “Homepage Videos” or “Tutorials”)

  3. Choose how to populate it:

    • All Videos — automatically includes every video from your channel

    • Specific Playlist — pulls videos from one YouTube playlist

    • Manual Selection — you pick exactly which videos to include

  4. Click Create Gallery

Add Videos to Your Theme

  1. Copy the Gallery ID shown on your gallery page

  2. Go to Online Store > Themes > Customize

  3. Navigate to the page where you want videos to appear

  4. Click Add section or Add block, then select Video Gallery from the Apps list

  5. Paste the Gallery ID into the block settings

  6. Click Save

Your videos are now live on your store. You can add the Video Gallery block to any page — homepage, product pages, a dedicated videos page, etc.
