Adding Video Links

Robo Gallery allows you to attach video links to gallery images. When a visitor clicks the image, the video will open inside the gallery lightbox.

This feature works in all gallery types, including:

  • Fusion Grid (V5)
  • Grid
  • Masonry
  • Mosaic
  • Polaroid
  • Slider

Video links are added in the Media Manager when editing an image.

Supported Video Platforms

Supported video platforms depend on the gallery type.

Classic galleries support video links from:

  • YouTube
  • Vimeo

Example links:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
https://vimeo.com/VIDEO_ID

Fusion Grid (V5)

Fusion gallery supports more video platforms.

Supported services include:

  • YouTube
  • Vimeo
  • Facebook
  • Twitch
  • SoundCloud
  • Wistia

Simply paste the video link into the Video field.


Combining Videos with Images

Video items can be mixed with regular images in the same gallery.

Example gallery content:

  • standard image → opens image in lightbox
  • image with video link → opens video in lightbox
  • image with link → opens external page

This allows you to create mixed media galleries combining images, videos, and links.


Tips

  • Use video thumbnails that represent the video content.
  • Keep video links valid and public.
  • Avoid using very long playlists inside regular galleries.

If you need to display entire YouTube channels or playlists, consider using the dedicated YouTube Gallery type instead.
