Modules let you place All Video Share content anywhere in your template — a sidebar, a footer, or alongside your articles — without needing a menu item.
1. Login to your Joomla backend.
2. Select Content –> Site Modules –> New and here you can find our six modules:
- Player – All Video Share — Adds a single video player
- Gallery – All Video Share — Shows videos or categories as a grid
- Carousel – All Video Share — Shows videos in a slider
- Playlist – All Video Share — Shows a player with a playlist beside it
- Search – All Video Share — A search box for your videos
- YouTube – All Video Share — Shows videos from a YouTube playlist, channel, username or search term
3. Choose a module, set its options, then give it a Position in your template and set the Menu Assignment to decide which pages it appears on. Save when you are done.
Many module settings offer a Use Global choice. Leaving one on Use Global means it follows whatever you have set in Components → All Video Share → Options. Change it only when you want this module to behave differently from the rest of your site.
