All Video Share is a single Joomla package file. Installing it installs the component, the site modules and the plugins together, in one step. The whole process takes about a minute.

Download
Download the package using the button below. Save it somewhere you can find it, and do not unzip it — Joomla needs the zip file exactly as it is.
Before You Start
Check that your site meets these requirements:
- Joomla 4.0 or newer. All Video Share works on Joomla 4, 5 and 6.
- PHP 7.4 or newer. PHP 8.1 or later is recommended.
- MySQL or MariaDB. Any version supported by your Joomla install will work.
If you plan to upload large video files through your browser later on, it is worth asking your host to raise the PHP limits upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, memory_limit and max_execution_time.
Installing the Package
- Log in to your Joomla administrator.
- Go to System → Install → Extensions.
- Stay on the Upload Package File tab and drag
pkg_allvideoshare.ziponto the drop area. You can also click Or browse for file and pick it from your computer. - Wait a few seconds while Joomla installs the extensions and creates the database tables.
When you see the success message, the installation is complete.
You will now find All Video Share in the Components menu, with sub-items for Videos, Categories, Advertisements, Ratings and Likes / Dislikes.
If the Upload Fails
A timeout or a blank screen during the upload almost always means your server’s PHP upload limit is too small for the package. Try one of these instead:
- Switch to the Install from URL tab and paste the download link directly:
https://allvideoshare.mrvinoth.com/downloads/pkg_allvideoshare.zip - Upload and unzip the package into a folder on your server using FTP, then enter that folder path on the Install from Folder tab.
- Ask your host to raise
upload_max_filesize,post_max_sizeandmax_execution_time, then try the upload again.
After Installing
Enable the Plugins
The package installs several plugins, but Joomla leaves them disabled. Go to System → Manage → Plugins, search for allvideoshare, and enable the ones you need.
Enable the All Video Share Player content plugin if you want to place a video inside an article, and the All Video Share YouTube content plugin if you want to place a YouTube gallery inside an article. The editor button plugin adds a button below your article editor that writes the YouTube tag for you, and the Smart Search plugin makes your videos appear in Joomla’s search results.
Check How Your Gallery Looks
The gallery grid is built on Bootstrap 5, which nearly every Joomla 4, 5 and 6 template already loads. If your thumbnails end up stacked in a single column or look misaligned, go to Components → All Video Share → Options → Custom CSS and set Load Bootstrap CSS to Yes.
Updating
All Video Share tells Joomla where to look for new releases, so updates appear on your dashboard automatically. To install one, go to System → Update → Extensions, click Check for Updates, tick All Video Share and click Update.
You can also update by hand: download the latest package and install it exactly as you did the first time. Installing over an existing copy keeps all of your videos, categories and settings.
Never uninstall before updating. Uninstalling deletes your videos, categories, ratings and likes from the database. Always install the new version over the existing one, and take a backup of your site and database first.
Uninstalling
Go to System → Manage → Extensions, find the All Video Share entry of type Package, tick it and click Uninstall. This removes the component, the modules and the plugins in one go.
You cannot remove an individual module or plugin on its own while the package is installed. That is deliberate — it stops the set being broken up by accident.
Uninstalling deletes your data. Your categories, videos, ratings, likes and advertisements are all removed from the database. Video files you uploaded stay on the server in
/media/com_allvideoshare/videos/and have to be deleted manually if you want them gone.
