Introduction
PlugeTune imports videos from your YouTube channel into WordPress and gives you flexible ways to display them. Each imported video becomes its own post, so you can manage, style and share it like any other content.
You can import single videos or whole playlists, schedule automatic imports, and show videos as a grid with AJAX pagination, a slider, a popup lightbox or an in-card player.

API Key & Channel ID
PlugeTune uses the YouTube Data API, so you need your own API key and your channel’s ID.
Open Google Cloud Console, create or select a project, enable the YouTube Data API and create an API key.
Use the “Find your Channel ID” link on the Welcome screen, or copy it from your YouTube channel settings.
Add them on the Welcome screen and press Continue.
