A settings area allows you to specify up to 50 YouTube or Vimeo video URLs that you would like to show up in the backend of your website. You can then choose the minimum role that is able to see it in their dashboard. If you only want Administrators to see them, you can do that! Possible future upgrades will include more precise role control and more robust video embedding options. For more info, please [visit our site](https://pagecrafter.com/embed-videos-in-dashboard-plugin/). ## Screenshots * [[ * The plugin in action.

Sadly just updated 6 months ago, so I am a bit scared that it crashes my site all the time I install it :). ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a85087a92354155683c42d9fc150c793d9673d4cd277b16308726ad0666f1bcb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Tool](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-tool-1796/)󠁿 [Sandro Carniel](https://profiles.wordpress.org/opzionecom/) Caamsaa 31, 2022 Very good! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/49a3dceca42b7abc609a8c6a062e06cb2474ecba827fec404afb1ef3b21f9e3b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Still works July 2020](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-works-july-2020/)󠁿 [goviral](https://profiles.wordpress.org/goviral/) Adoolessa 13, 2020 Still works great in July 2020 even though it hasn’t been updated for a while. I am using the Divi framework and it’s great. I like this one because it allows you to add the videos to the dashboard so they see them as soon as they are logged in. Others require users to click the menu item on the left. This is not as clear for clients/users who aren’t used to the WP dashboard. Works great for client support videos. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/febebfeac536b0e0728cab421184211f1c9f729245b48671b190498610101e23? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great and easy tool](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-and-easy-tool/)󠁿 [anderie](https://profiles.wordpress.org/anderie/) Ebla 24, 2017 1 reply I’ve been working now a while with this plugin to offer a better service to my clients. With small youtube tutorials, suited to their needs, I can give a much higher support quality and connect with my customers way better as a freelancer 🙂 [ Read all 6 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/video-dashboard/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Video Dashboard” is open source software.
