About This Video

In this video, I show you how to showcase your YouTube feed on WordPress by embedding only the most recent video from a channel. The key benefit is that it refreshes automatically, so you don’t have to update anything when you publish a new video. It’s a simple copy-and-paste setup, and once it’s in place, your site always displays the latest upload. I start by grabbing the YouTube channel ID the quick way: open the channel page, view the source, and search for “channel/” until you find the URL that contains the ID. Then I tweak that ID by changing the first two letters from “UC” to “UU” and drop it into the embed code after the “list=” parameter. From there, I paste the full snippet into a Custom HTML block in WordPress, save, and the newest video loads right away. I also break down a few useful parameters you can customize: “rel=0” helps prevent related videos from showing at the end, “modestbranding=1” reduces YouTube branding overlays, and “playsinline=1” keeps playback inline instead of pushing a fullscreen player. Quick setup, clean result, and it stays up to date automatically.
