YouTube keeps coming out with more and more ways we can embed and share our YouTube content with others, offering us everything from simple video embeds to powerful APIs. …And one of their newest methods requires very little technical expertise:
YouTube recently added a script that allows you to add a small widget featuring your YouTube Channel video collection to any website, blog, social network page, or pretty much anywhere else online.
The widget allows visitors to scroll through all a Channel owner’s YouTube videos, and watch them right there on the blog, website, or other online venue.
Subscribe to YouTube Channels Off-Site
Even better than THAT, and as you see here in my embedded channel widget below, the embedded channel box includes a subscribe button so that you can gain YouTube channel subscribers right there from off-YouTube sites!
To add this embed channel widget, simply copy the embed code from the bottom of the “Connect With [Your Channel Name]” box on your profile/Channel page.
(Find the box containing the embed code just beneath where it reads, “Embed This Channel”):
…and then paste that code into the appropriate position on your own blog, website, or social media page — wherever you’d like!
As you can see, I’ve posted the video collection from our YouTube Secret Weapon Channel (Username: YTSecretWeapon) in the right-hand sidebar of my blog here.
You may have to scroll to find it, but once you do, go ahead and subscribe to my YouTube Channel if you’d like. (Note: You are getting sleepy — You Will Subscribe to My Channel!)

Embed YouTube Video Playlists for Specific Types of Content
Meanwhile, I’m still finding it an incredibly useful idea to embed an entire YouTube video playlist that you’ve created on your Channel — made up of yours and/or others content (and perhaps that is content others have made about you).
A great example of this is a collection of testimonials for a product or service you offer. Rather than simply embedding one video testimonial at a time, create an entire playlist where you take videos from both your channel, as well as other users’ channels, and embed the entire collection on your blog or website.
This way, the testimonials will roll one after the other and continue to play until the visitor has stopped the player. See my example of YouTube Secret Weapon testimonials below:
For more about creating playlists and benefits of doing so (including how they are currently being considered in the YouTube search results and what to do about it), you’ll want to pick up a copy of YouTube Secret Weapon. Paul and I are watching this trend closely and will be discussing it more in our upcoming bonus Q&A webinars.
In the meantime, be sure to be creating and embedding those content-specific playlists!
Update: Know that if you have a custom background design on your YouTube Channel, that will show up within this widget. Because I just use one of the template options offered by YouTube (a solid maroon color), my embedded channel widget contains the white background. As I’ve been putting more thought into a custom background for the YTSecretWeapon channel, this gives me more reason to consider it, as it would make that widget stand our more on a webpage or blog. Still thinking — and open to suggestions if anyone has them!
