Framer
A video wall for Framer, in one Embed component.
Framer sites are built to look considered, and a row of default YouTube embeds does not. This is one Embed component that gathers YouTube playlists and channels, Vimeo showcases, Twitch channels and TikTok videos into one wall, in tabs, and plays each video in a window over your page.
The marks and videos in these examples are well known ones shown as samples, so the widget is demonstrated at a realistic size. They are their owners' and imply nothing about them.
Three steps
Putting it on the page
1. Gather the videos
Paste a channel, a playlist, a showcase or a handful of links. The widget fetches titles, thumbnails and counts and keeps them fresh.
2. Copy one line
The editor gives you a single iframe tag.
3. Insert an Embed
Insert, Embed, paste the tag, publish. Size the component and the wall fills it.
The honest comparison
Against native YouTube embeds
One embed per video is the default, and it is the slowest thing on most pages.
What a row of native embeds costs you
Each YouTube embed loads about half a megabyte of player before anyone presses play. Ten of them and the page crawls. And Vimeo, Twitch and TikTok each need their own embed style, none of which match.
What this costs you
One iframe on the page that shows it. It loads after your content, from a CDN, in its own frame, so it cannot block your page from rendering and cannot reach into your site. Nothing to update. Views are never counted or capped on any plan.
The trade is that the widget lives on our servers rather than yours, and it needs a network connection to appear.
Where it goes
Places it fits
Home page
A latest-episodes wall under the hero.

Your reel and your clients' videos in tabs.
Podcast sites
Every episode's video, playing here rather than sending people to YouTube.
Components
Put the Embed in a component and reuse it across pages.
Framer plugin, soon
A DreamWidget plugin for the Framer marketplace is being built; the Embed is the same widget.
Any breakpoint
Desktop, tablet and phone each keep their own layout: slider or grid, columns, spacing.
Questions
Asked often
Can I put YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch and TikTok on one Framer page?
Yes. One Video Showcase gathers all four into one wall, in tabs, and plays each video in its own platform's player in a window over your page.
Does it slow the page?
No. The wall is thumbnails and text until a video is opened; the player loads only then. About 15KB on the page.
Does it need a paid Framer plan?
The Embed component is where custom HTML goes on Framer; check your plan's rules for embeds on published sites.
Is there a view limit?
No, on any plan including the free one. The widget is served from a CDN where views cost us nothing, so we do not meter them the way most widget services do.
What if I change it later?
Edit the widget in the DreamWidget editor and every page showing it updates. The embed points at the widget rather than carrying a copy, so the page is never touched again.
Does it work on phones?
Every design setting is kept separately for desktop, tablet and phone and previewed at that width, so the phone version is something you set, not something that happens to you.
