Is it possible to add  the youtube playlist, but have the side panel already open?  My clients are usually elderly, and they may not know to click the button to open the side panel.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!  :)

Certainly! You can achieve this using the AllVideos extension for Joomla. AllVideos, developed by JoomlaWorks, is a versatile media player that allows you to embed video and audio content from various third-party providers directly into your Joomla articles, K2 items, Virtuemart products, Kunena forum posts, or any other Joomla component that supports “content” plugins. maximtimeclock

Yes, it's possible to embed a YouTube playlist with the side panel already open. However, this would require some customization beyond the standard YouTube embed options. One way to achieve this is by using the YouTube Data API to fetch the playlist items and then display them in a custom interface where the side panel is already open.   [url]google[/url]
