Finding Your YouTube Video ID

If you want to add a YouTube widget to your TCGplayer Pro Website's homepage, you'll need to enter the YouTube Video ID within the Content section of your Pro Website settings.

On the TCGplayer Pro Settings page, you can access the Social Widgets section by selecting Content on the left navigation menu.

To find this ID for your widget:

1. Go to YouTube and find the video you want to share.

For example, the video "Introducing TCGplayer Pro | Available Now" can be found on YouTube at http://youtube.com/watch?v=GYGIVAb5s4U.

An example YouTube video for Introducing TCGplayer Pro.

2. You'll see a Share button under the video. Click "Share".

The section below the YouTube video displays options like Add to, Share, and More.

3. A section will open below the "Share" button with "Share", "Embed" and "Email" information. On the "Share" portion, you'll see a YouTube URL. The YouTube ID will be the portion at the end of the URL after the last slash. 

In this example, the YouTube ID is "GYGIVAb5s4U".

In the Share content box, the video ID is the alphanumeric combination located after https://youtu.be/.

4. Enter this ID in the "YouTube Video ID" section of the YouTube widget within TCGplayer Pro Settings.

In the Social Widgets box there are two fields: Headline and YouTube Video ID.

Once you've added and saved the YouTube Video ID, the ID will also appear in the widget header.

The saved widget displays the Headline and YouTube video ID at the top.
