Go to Video Categories and click on Add New, enter the Gallery Name and select the website page from the Gallery Page dropdown list. The gallery description field serves to show intro text above the video list.

On the plugin settings page you can also control the look and feel of the gallery including most of the tags and number of videos to show per page.
- Can I use a shortcode to add a gallery to a page or post?
Yes, to do this, please use the following shortcode [workbox_video_YV_list gallery_name=”Test Post Gallery”] where Test Post Gallery is the name of the gallery you want to use on the page. You can also specify the gallery ID instead of the gallery name.
