How to add Video Gallery to a MyBB forum

Embed Video Gallery on MyBB

01

Create a Video Gallery plugin for MyBB on Common Ninja

First, create a MyBB Video Gallery plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Video Gallery and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Video Gallery plugin

When you're done creating the Video Gallery plugin, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Video Gallery Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Video Gallery plugin to your MyBB forum, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your MyBB forum.

04

Paste the code to your MyBB website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your MyBB forum editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the MyBB’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Video Gallery Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Video Gallery plugin on your MyBB forum.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Video Gallery plugin on your MyBB plugin. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your MyBB forum’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Video Gallery plugin to your MyBB forum. You can do this by putting it straight into your MyBB forum's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Video Gallery widget when you have multiple videos that work together to explain, demonstrate, or inspire and you want them organized in one hub. Instead of scattering embeds across different pages or stacking them in a long column, the gallery arranges clips in a grid or layout that is easy to scan. Visitors can see titles, thumbnails, and sometimes categories, then choose the ones most relevant to their interests. This is effective for educational content, product education, customer stories, webinars, and creative portfolios. A structured video gallery turns your site into a media resource center that encourages deeper viewing and gives your content longer lasting value.
