Can video playlists from YouTube be displayed on a Webflow site like they can on Adobe Muse using a widget or integration?

TL;DR
  • Get the YouTube playlist embed code and insert it using Webflow’s Embed component with the playlist src URL.
  • Alternatively, use third-party tools like Elfsight or EmbedSocial to customize and embed playlists with enhanced layouts and styling.

You can display YouTube playlists on a Webflow site, though Webflow doesn’t natively support playlist widgets like Adobe Muse; you’ll need to use an embedded playlist URL or third-party integration.

1. Use an Embedded YouTube Playlist URL

  • Get your YouTube playlist's embed code directly from YouTube:

  • Go to your playlist on YouTube.

  • Click “Share” and then “Embed”.

  • Copy the iframe code. The key part of the URL will look like this: https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=YOUR_PLAYLIST_ID

  • Add to Webflow:

  • Use the Embed component in Webflow Designer.

  • Paste only the src URL portion within the embed element (e.g., assign src to the iframe).

  • You might want to set loading="lazy" for performance.

Note: YouTube iframes are supported within Webflow’s Embed component, but you must use custom embed code, since Webflow's native Video element doesn’t support playlist URLs.

2. Use a Third-Party Playlist Plugin

  • Services like Elfsight or EmbedSocial allow more flexible YouTube playlist displays with styled layouts.
  • You can:
  • Choose your playlist.
  • Customize appearance (grid, carousel, etc.).
  • Copy the generated embed script.
  • Paste it into a Webflow Embed element.
This method gives you more control over look and usability compared to YouTube’s default iframe.

3. Limitations to Consider

  • Playback customization is limited with standard YouTube embeds.
  • You can’t auto-play videos or remove related videos cleanly—YouTube's embed settings are restrictive.
  • If styling is important, third-party tools offer a much cleaner integration than raw iframe.

Summary

You can display YouTube playlists on a Webflow site using the YouTube embed URL for playlists or third-party tools like Elfsight. While Webflow doesn’t offer native playlist widgets like Muse, you can replicate similar functionality through embeds and integrations.
