What is a video grid?

A video grid, also called a multiview or video wall, plays several videos side by side on one screen. You can follow a few live events at once, compare reviews of the same product, check different versions of a clip, or keep music and a talk running together, all without switching between browser tabs.

Tool description

Paste YouTube links into the box, one per line, and the videos appear in a grid under it. Watch links, youtu.be short links, Shorts, live and embed links all work, and so do plain 11-character video IDs. The buttons under the grid play, pause or mute every video at once, and each video keeps its own player controls. Leave the columns on Auto or pick a number, drag the lines between videos to make some of them bigger, drag a video's handle onto another video to swap them, and drag the grid's bottom edge to make it taller or shorter. Full screen fills your whole screen with the grid.

Features

  • Play all, Pause all and Mute all buttons for every video at once
  • Columns and rows that resize when you drag the lines between them
  • Videos keep playing while you add, remove or swap links

Tips

  • Lines that aren't YouTube links are left out, and a note under the grid gives their line numbers. Blank lines are skipped.
  • Swapping two videos also swaps their lines in the box, so the list always matches the grid.
  • Double-click a line between videos to make the columns or rows even again. Double-click the grid's bottom edge to bring back its starting height.
  • The lines and the bottom edge also move with the arrow keys. Press Tab until one is selected.
  • A video can't play here when it's private, removed or its owner doesn't allow it on other websites. The note under the grid counts these videos.
  • On a phone, Auto stacks the videos in one column.
