We designed this custom video playlist to help you impress your visitors. Bring more traffic to your site using this video playlist developed to support auto-play, which jumps to the next video upon finishing. Adding a video playlist (YouTube or Vimeo) to your website has never been easier.
You can add a playlist to any page or template using the tagDiv Composer page builder.
After creating a page or template, while editing with the tagDiv Composer click the Add element button and drag and drop the playlist element to your page.
After adding the element to your page, the settings for it will appear in the tagDiv Composer section.
