Video testimonials are the most persuasive form of social proof you can put in front of potential customers. When visitors to your WordPress site see real people on YouTube talking about your product, unboxing it, or walking through a tutorial, it builds a level of trust that written reviews simply cannot match. Feedspace lets you import those YouTube video reviews and display them in a polished, branded widget directly on your site, turning your best video content into a conversion tool.
What You Need Before You Start
- A Feedspace account with at least one workspace set up
- YouTube video reviews, testimonials, unboxing videos, or tutorial videos already imported into your Feedspace workspace
- A WordPress site where you have admin access to install plugins
Step 1: Import Your YouTube Video Reviews into Feedspace
Before you can display YouTube video reviews on WordPress, you need to bring them into Feedspace. If you have not done this yet, follow the YouTube import guide to pull in your video testimonials.
- Log in to your Feedspace account and open your workspace.
- Navigate to the import section and select YouTube as the source platform.
- Follow the prompts to connect your YouTube channel or paste the video URLs you want to import.
- Review the imported video testimonials in your Feedspace dashboard and confirm they are ready to display.
Once your YouTube video reviews appear in your workspace, you are ready to build a widget around them.
Step 2: Create a Widget in Feedspace
Feedspace widgets let you curate which video testimonials appear on your site and control how they look. You can filter by specific YouTube videos, choose a layout that suits your page design, and apply your brand colors.
- In your Feedspace workspace, go to Widgets from the sidebar.
- Click Create Widget and give it a descriptive name, such as “YouTube Video Testimonials”.
- Select the reviews you want to include. You can filter to show only imported YouTube video testimonials, specific product reviews, or unboxing videos.
- Choose a display layout. Available options include:
- Grid layout for a gallery-style video showcase
- Carousel layout for a scrollable, space-efficient display
- List layout for a clean, vertical arrangement
- Customize the widget appearance to match your site branding, then click Save.
Your widget is now saved and ready to be embedded on your WordPress site.
Step 3: Install the Feedspace WordPress Plugin
The Feedspace WordPress plugin is the easiest way to add your video testimonial widget to any page or post without touching code.
- Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
- Go to Plugins and click Add New.
- Search for Feedspace in the plugin directory.
- Click Install Now next to the Feedspace plugin, then click Activate.
- After activation, go to the Feedspace plugin settings in your WordPress sidebar and connect your Feedspace account by entering your API key.
Step 4: Add the Widget to Your WordPress Page
With the plugin installed and connected, you can place your YouTube video testimonial widget anywhere on your site using the Feedspace block in the WordPress block editor.
- Open the WordPress page or post where you want to display the video reviews.
- Click the + block inserter and search for Feedspace.
- Select the Feedspace block and insert it into your page.
- In the block settings panel, choose the widget you created in Step 2, such as “YouTube Video Testimonials”.
- Click Update or Publish to save the page.
Your YouTube video reviews will now appear live on your WordPress page, displaying inline with playback so visitors can watch testimonials without leaving your site.
Tips for Getting the Most from YouTube Video Testimonials
YouTube video testimonials carry extra credibility because visitors can see and hear a real person sharing their experience. To make the most of this:
- Place your video testimonial widget on high-intent pages such as pricing, product, or landing pages where visitors are closest to making a decision.
- Prioritize unboxing videos and detailed product reviews over short clips, as longer video content tends to address specific objections and questions.
- Use the Feedspace widget filter to surface the most viewed or most relevant YouTube videos rather than showing all imported content at once.
- Keep your widget updated by re-importing from YouTube whenever new relevant video reviews are published about your brand or product.
