Open Videos In Lightbox

Simply create a link using the Share URL (the full Page URL, the Short URL with or without options like HD etc.) to the YouTube/Vimeo/Dailymotion page in your post content. If you have Auto-detect enabled, the plugin will take care of the rest for you!

If you have disabled Auto-detection, give the link a class attribute like class=”fancybox-youtube” for Youtube, class=”fancybox-vimeo” for Vimeo and class=”fancybox-dailymotion” for Dailymotion, to manually enable FancyBox for it.

Both YouTube and Vimeo movies can be made to play immediately after opening by adding the paramer autoplay=1 to the URL. For example, a short-url YouTube link that should play in HD mode, have the full screen button and auto-start on open, would look like:

Can I show a YouTube playlist in FancyBox?

Yes, just go to Youtube page of any movie that’s in the playlist and use the Share button to get the share URL just like with single movies, but this time place a checkmark at the ‘Share with playlist’ option.
