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.
- Click Import in the left sidebar.
- Paste your YouTube video URL into the input field. Feedspace detects the platform automatically.
- Click Import Video, select the videos you want to import, then click Import Review in the footer.
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.
- Go to Widgets in the sidebar.
- Click a template from the template strip, such as Carousel or Masonry, to create your widget. The editor opens automatically.
- In the editor, select the reviews you want to include using the checkboxes on the left.
- Switch to the Design tab to customise the colors and appearance to match your site.
- Go to the Share tab. Under HTML/WordPress, copy the Widget ID from the WordPress plugin section for use in the next step.
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.
- In your WordPress admin panel, go to Plugins and click Add New.
- Search for Feedspace and click Install Now, then Activate.
Step 4: Add the widget to your WordPress page
With the plugin installed, 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 reviews.
- In the Gutenberg editor, add a Feedspace Widget block to the location where you want the reviews to appear.
- Paste the Widget ID you copied in Step 2 into the block.
- Click Publish or Update 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.
