YouTube Update

The older YouTube widgets are kind of redundant in that a lot of the controls are not functional. The latest API (2018) doesn't allow much in the way of settings since Google is trying to force surfers to pay for Ad-Free viewing via a premium account.
This means that using YouTube is not a very good option and those who have their own video files would be better to insert them in an MP4 player.
For those who must use YouTube, this widgets offers a few more features than the EverWeb default widget. The main feature is the ability to pause a YouTube video when another is played.

Responsive Container

The container is responsive width a maximum width setting and a percentage width slider. The container can have a border and/or a box shadow. When a box shadow is applied, the percentage width should be reduced to allow the shadow to be seen on mobile devices.
Caption
There is an optional caption which can be styled with a web safe or a Google hosted font and has controls for setting the font size, color, background, text-align and padding.
The caption should not really be regarded as an option and should contain keywords for the search engines as well as some info for the visitors.
Wrap
The full width wrapper can be styled for background color and its opacity and vertical spacing from the items above and below.

YouTube Controls

The widget is set up for displaying a default 16:9 aspect ratio YouTube video which is 560 X 315. If the video has a different aspect ratio, its file width and height should be entered in the boxes provided.
The widget only requires the YouTube ID - not the full URL.
There are checkboxes for turning on auto pause and to show the fullscreen button.
The point at which the video starts can be set in seconds. As an example, the first video on this page starts at 57 seconds into the timeline.
Although there are controls for turning on autoplay and loop it is not advisable to use these functions on a page that will be viewed on mobile devices.
