Showing videos in a pop up light box like blogger lightbox images is really cool and it boosts video views too so I decided to share this cool stuff with you. In this post I am going to show you how to add pop up light box video player in blogger but before that I want to tell u that its a different player so can't just get embed code of your video and paste it and start showing pop up.
This player works in a different way so first you need to add code of this player in your blog and after that you need to add ID of a Youtube video. Remember that it can't play other videos like Dailymotion. Only vimeo and YouTube videos can be played with this player.
And to play a video you need to add its id first whether you want to play a Youtube video or Vimeo video, in both cases you need its id.
So in this post I will show you how to add pop up light box YouTube or vimeo video player and how to get id of a Youtube or vimeo video.
