  Hi!

  I actually figured it out, but wanted to know if there was an option to show a YouTube preview like Facebook and Twitter in the widget section…?

  Thank you very much!

  Hi there,

  This is not possible because (as far as I know) YouTube does not offer a “widget” to display a channel feed in a website.

  To clarify, the reason we have something like that for Twitter (same for Facebook) is because they themselves created the widget and allowed companies like us to share the tool in our option list.

  If YouTube offers this kind of option in the future I’m sure we’d look into adding it, but for the time being there is no way to set up that kind of widget for YouTube videos, just single video player embeds I’m afraid.
