A Joomlashack plugin for embedding YouTube videos: paste a video link into an article or module and the site shows a responsive player, with no code to write.
OSYouTube by Joomlashack makes it easy to put YouTube videos on a Joomla site. Instead of copying iframe code and fighting editor filters, an editor pastes an ordinary video link into an article or module, and the plugin turns it into a player on the frontend. It suits blogs, training sites and company sites where content managers add videos without knowing HTML.
Features
- Embedding from a plain YouTube link in articles and modules.
- The player markup is generated automatically, so no code is needed.
- A responsive player that adapts to the screen width.
- Configurable player controls.
Compatibility
- Joomla 3, 4, 5 and 6.
- Current version 4.1.2, last updated in JED on 28 July 2026.
- A paid edition, OSYouTube Pro, adds settings for autoplay, the control bar, related videos, fullscreen mode, the player theme and more.
