How to Use the Video Playlist Widget in Elementor [PRO]

[@Elementor]

If you don't see the Video Playlist widget in the Elementor Editor, make sure you have the latest version of Elementor Pro installed. Then, from the WordPress dashboard, go to Elementor > Settings > Experiments, make sure that Video Playlist is set to Active, and click Save Changes.

Hi Adrian, good news! Vimeo support was recently added 🎉 Just make sure you've updated Elementor and Elementor Pro to the latest versions in order to use it.

[@adriantaverner]

@@Elementor Could we please get support for start times and/or chapters? My education site depends on segmenting larger videos and that would make this playlist feature a HUGE usability win.

[@4Mulator]

This is good but why can’t we just pop in the playlist link and it automatically pulls in all the videos from KZbin? The lack of dynamic control just creates more work in the long run constantly having to go in and adding a new video.

We have the latest Elementor update, but when we click get video data, it never loads the data. And video screen is black until you click on the video.

[@lynscott6171]

Is there any way to make the sections collapse like an accordion-widget , displaying that section's videos only after a visitor clicks on the Section header? The list is just getting way too long to scroll down to the next section. It would be great if the widget showed a list of the sections-and then reveal videos in each section by clicking on the header. Much appreciate any feedback-or knowledge of a good video playlist plugin that will do that! Not that Elementor playlist widget isn't good-just need more functionality. Thanks!

[@karthikrajanala]

Hey Elementor team this is great but the video playlist widget adds a weird request parameter to the URL of the page. Please fix this.

[@aaronpenton3977]

[@TomTuT]

I do need to have the Timecode used from the youtube URL. This is a great feature to jump in the same video to a specific Timepoint which is a new Category in the Video. But the video always starts from beginning and i remembers when i already whatched a few minutes ... and jumps directly to my last point.

[@ferrykoestering3838]

When you click on another video in the playlist, the previous video continues to play. With sound on, you can hear 2 videos at the same time. Is there a way to automatically pause the previous video when another video is clicked?

Is this the best and most elegant / user friendly way to display a video portfolio gallery. Although all the basic functionality all seems to be there in which one might hope for, it doesn't seem to display the videos in more than one column, unlike say an image gallery.

How to exclude Video Playlist Widget from Table Of Contents? I tried to add a selector «ignore» to the Custom CSS section in Video Playlist Widget, then added «.ignore» in Table of Contents > Exclude > Anchors by selector.
