Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Video Dashboard

Video Dashboard directly handles common URL formats from YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, and Vidyard. It also asks WordPress to resolve other supported oEmbed providers, so additional services may work automatically.

No. New configurations should normally use the full video URL. Raw 11-character YouTube IDs are still accepted for backward compatibility with older Video Dashboard installations.

Common YouTube formats are supported, including standard watch?v= links, youtu.be share links, embed URLs, Shorts URLs, live URLs, and URLs with additional query parameters. Existing raw YouTube IDs also continue to work.

No. Version 2.0 copies the old numbered video fields into the new video list without changing the original stored values. The old settings are intentionally retained as a recovery path, and the plugin also preserves its legacy parsing behavior as a fallback.

The plugin first tries its current video resolver. If that fails, it falls back to the parsing behavior used by older Video Dashboard versions so previously working configurations have the best chance of continuing to work.

Yes. Drag videos by the handle on the left side of each row and save your changes.

Yes. Each video can have an optional custom title and description. Leave either field blank if you do not want it displayed.

You can select a minimum standard WordPress role from Subscriber through Administrator. Users at or above that level can see the dashboard widget, and administrators can always see it.

A preview requires the provider to return usable metadata such as a title or thumbnail. A preview failure does not necessarily mean the video itself cannot be embedded, so Video Dashboard will still attempt to display it on the dashboard.

For providers where Video Dashboard can verify the response, this message means the provider returned a response indicating that the video is missing or no longer available. This is intentionally different from a simple preview failure.
