A great plug-in until recently (2020). No longer works with Youtube. Still not fixed. .

Huzzaz is a very easy to use plugin. It's almost plug and play: you need only one shortcode and the plugin give it to you! Among all plugins to embedding a video gallery I've made tests, Huzzaz is for me the most elegant: beautiful front end, autoplay between videos, responsive design, pagination, sharing capabilities, customization... and last but not least, the guys behind the plugin are the fastest for providing you the help you need. I use now Huzzaz on my website with 4 different channels and a premium theme: http://www.citizen.consulting/tv/ Huzzaz and its team deserve a 5 star rating. No doubt
