How to Display YouTube Videos in a Lightbox?

Does anyone know how to display youtube videos in lightbox on wordpress? i know digg.com does/did do it at some point.

i have found many image lightbox plugins, and i found a plugin that displays wmv movies in a lightbox, but i cant find something that will quickly display a youtube video in a lightbox plugin.

I recommend using ShadowBox, and using the iframe player support it comes with. You can use this to open YouTube videos in a lightbox.

Easy Frame work is a CSS/HTML/JavaScript framework that includes the code to do this. The demo page can be found here under the Flash heading: http://easyframework.com/demo_popup.php.

You can either check to see how he does it (it's free) or simply use the framework. Hope that helps.

Hi Omar,
This plugin looks amazing and you can create thumbnails so that you have more control over the design and images on your site - YouTube Fancy Zoom.
Good luck,
Rebecca

The very best Lightbox for Youtube videos (and other stuff) is this one: http://stickmanlabs.com/lightwindow/

This is what you want - as simple as you want it.
