Les vidéos sont l’un des meilleurs moyens de stimuler l’engagement des utilisateurs/utilisatrices. Récemment, l’une de nos utilisatrices/utilisateurs nous a proposé un moyen de créer des superpositions de boutons de partage sur les vidéos à l’instar du site populaire UpWorthy. Dans cet article, nous allons vous afficher comment ajouter des boutons de partage en superposition sur les vidéos YouTube dans WordPress.
Exemple de ce à quoi cela ressemblerait :
Ajout de boutons de partage en superposition sur des vidéos YouTube
Il y a plusieurs façons de procéder. La plupart des méthodes nécessiteraient de coller un bout de code HTML à chaque fois que vous ajoutez une vidéo. Au lieu de cela, nous avons décidé de créer un code court qui automatiserait cet effet de superposition.
Il suffit de copier et de coller le code suivant dans une extension spécifique au site ou dans le fichier functions.php de votre thème :
/// WPBeginner's YouTube Share Overlay Buttons
function wpb_yt_buttons($atts) {
// Get the video ID from shortcode
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'video' => ''
), $atts ) );
// Display video
$string = '<div id="video-container"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/' . $video . '" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe>';
// Add Facebook share button
$string .= '<ul class="share-video-overlay" id="share-video-overlay"><li class="facebook" id="facebook"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutube.com/watch%3Fv%3D'. $video .'" target="_blank">
Facebook</a></li>';
// Add Tweet button
$string .= '<li class="twitter" id="twitter"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/share?&text=Check+this+video&url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D'. $video .'">Tweet</a></li></ul>';
// Close video container
$string .= '</div>';
// Return output
return $string;
}
// Add Shortcode
add_shortcode('wpb-yt', 'wpb_yt_buttons');
Ce code crée un shortcode qui ajoute automatiquement des liens de partage twitter et facebook à vos vidéos. Ces boutons sont uniquement visibles lorsque l’utilisateur passe sa souris sur la vidéo. Vous pouvez l’utiliser pour ajouter n’importe quel autre réseau social.
Pour utiliser ce code court, tout ce que vous aurez à faire est d’ajouter l’ID de la vidéo YouTube dans le code court comme ceci :
[wpb-yt video="qzOOy1tWBCg"]
Vous pouvez obtenir l’ID de la vidéo YouTube à partir de la chaine de l’URL. Comme ceci :
Maintenant, lorsque vous ajoutez une vidéo, vous serez en mesure de voir votre vidéo YouTube et des liens en texte brut pour partager la vidéo sur Facebook ou Twitter. Vous remarquerez que ces liens ne sont pas du tout stylisés.
Nous allons donc styliser ces liens pour créer des boutons, de manière à ce qu’ils soient un peu plus jolis. Nous allons également masquer ces boutons et les faire apparaître uniquement lorsque l’utilisateur passe la souris sur le conteneur de la vidéo. Pour ce faire, ajoutez le CSS suivant à la feuille de style de votre thème enfant.
#share-video-overlay {
position: relative;
right: 40px;
top: -190px;
list-style-type: none;
display: block;
opacity: 0;
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
-webkit-transition: opacity .4s, top .25s;
-moz-transition: opacity .4s, top .25s;
-o-transition: opacity .4s, top .25s;
transition: opacity .4s, top .25s;
z-index: 500;
}
#share-video-overlay:hover {
opacity:1;
filter:alpha(opacity=100);
}
.share-video-overlay li {
margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
}
#facebook {
color: #ffffff;
background-color: #3e5ea1;
width: 70px;
padding: 5px;
}
.facebook a:link, .facebook a:active, .facebook a:visited {
color:#fff;
text-decoration:none;
}
#twitter {
background-color:#00a6d4;
width: 70px;
padding: 5px;
}
.twitter a, .twitter a:link, .twitter a:active, .twitter a:visited, .twitter a:hover {
color:#FFF;
text-decoration:none;
}
C’est tout. Vous devriez maintenant avoir des boutons de partage superposés sur vos vidéos YouTube dans WordPress.
Ajout de boutons de partage en superposition pour les playlists de vidéos YouTube sur WordPress
Après la publication de cet article, beaucoup de nos lecteurs nous ont demandé comment ce code pouvait être modifié pour fonctionner pour les playlists YouTube ainsi que pour les vidéos. Si vous intégrez des vidéos YouTube ainsi que des playlists sur votre site WordPress, alors vous devriez utiliser ce code à la place.
/*
* WPBeginner's Share Overlay Buttons
* on YouTube Videos and Playlists
*/
function wpb_yt_buttons($atts) {
// Get the video and playlist ids from shortcode
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'video' => '',
'playlist' => '',
), $atts ) );
// Check to see if a playlist id is provided with shortcode
if (!$playlist == '' ) :
// Display video playlist
$string = '<div id="video-container"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/' . $video . '?list=' . $playlist . '" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe>';
// Add Facebook button
$string .= '<ul class="share-video-overlay" id="share-video-overlay"><li class="facebook" id="facebook"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutube.com/watch%3Fv%3D'. $video . '%26list%3D' . $playlist . '" target="_blank">Facebook</a></li>';
// Add Twitter button
$string .= '<li class="twitter" id="twitter"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/share?&text=Check+this+video&url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D'. $video . '%26list%3D' . $playlist . '">Tweet</a></li></ul>';
// Close video container
$string .= '</div>';
// If no playlist ID is provided
else :
//Display video
$string .= '<div id="video-container"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/' . $video . '" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe>';
// Add Facebook button
$string .= '<ul class="share-video-overlay" id="share-video-overlay"><li class="facebook" id="facebook"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutube.com/watch%3Fv%3D'. $video .'" target="_blank">
Facebook</a></li>';
// Add Twitter button
$string .= '<li class="twitter" id="twitter"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/share?&text=Check+this+video&url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D'. $video .'">Tweet</a></li></ul>';
// Close video container
$string .= '</div>';
endif;
// Return output
return $string;
}
// Add shortcode
add_shortcode('wpb-yt', 'wpb_yt_buttons');
En utilisant le code ci-dessus, vous pouvez également ajouter une playlist avec des boutons de partage superposés. Pour afficher votre playlist, vous devrez fournir l’ID de la vidéo et l’ID de la playlist dans le code court comme ceci :
[wpb-yt video="exP9N3rIfV0" playlist="UUhA624rCabHAmd6lpkLOw7A"]
Vous pouvez obtenir les ID de la vidéo et de la playlist en visitant la playlist sur YouTube et en copiant l’ID de la liste à partir de l’URL, comme ceci :
Ajout d’un lien vers une publication WordPress dans la superposition du bouton Share sur les vidéos YouTube
Après la publication de cet article, certains de nos utilisateurs/utilisatrices nous ont demandé s’ils souhaitaient que les boutons de partage affichent le lien de leur publication WordPress au lieu du lien de la vidéo YouTube. Pour ce faire, vous devez remplacer l’URL de la vidéo dans les boutons de partage par le permalien de la publication WordPress. Utilisez ce code dans votre fichier functions.php ou dans une extension spécifique à votre site :
/// WPBeginner's YouTube Share Overlay Buttons
function wpb_yt_buttons($atts) {
// Get the video ID from shortcode
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'video' => ''
), $atts ) );
// Display video
$string = '<div id="video-container"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/' . $video . '" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe>';
// Get post permalink and encode URL
$permalink_encoded = urlencode(get_permalink());
// Add Facebook share button
$string .= '<ul class="share-video-overlay" id="share-video-overlay"><li class="facebook" id="facebook"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u='. $permalink_encoded .'" target="_blank">
Facebook</a></li>';
// Add Tweet button
$string .= '<li class="twitter" id="twitter"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/share?&text=Check+this+video&url='. $permalink_encoded .'">Tweet</a></li></ul>';
// Close video container
$string .= '</div>';
// Return output
return $string;
}
// Add Shortcode
add_shortcode('wpb-yt', 'wpb_yt_buttons');
N’hésitez pas à modifier le CSS ou les extraits de code court pour répondre à vos besoins. Pour optimiser davantage vos vidéos, vous pouvez rendre vos vidéos YouTube responsive à l’aide de l’extension FitVids jQuery. Vous pouvez également désactiver les vidéos similaires qui apparaissent à la fin de la vidéo. ou encore créer des images mises en avant à partir des miniatures des vidéos YouTube.
Nous espérons que cet article vous a aidé à ajouter des boutons de partage personnalisés en superposition sur les vidéos YouTube dans WordPress. Faites-nous savoir quels réseaux sociaux vous avez l’offre d’ajouter sur vos vidéos en laissant un commentaire ci-dessous.

considering this is six years later I’m not really expecting a reply but, on the last shortcode you say to put in the wordpress url instead of the youtube but you don’t say what that code is or where to put it. Can you please keep in mind that very new beginners aren’t just going to know how to do this?
WPBeginner Support
Apologies for any confusion, we will be sure to endeavor to improve our wording in the future to make this more clear

« Most ways would require you to paste a bits of HTML code every time you add a video »
I’d like to learn this way…. how is it done?
Thanks
Martin Dekker
I’m after a different still image from a youtube video that I have on my site. The one the owner of the video has I don’t like and I’ve heard you can pick a image from the video time line to become your still image ones video ends. Since its not my video I need to beable to do this in the embed iframe code.
Is this possible and if so could you give me the code. Thank you
Tizy
Hello,
this is an incredible tutorial. It’s possible to show share button at the end of the youtube video and how? Thanks in advance for your help.
WPBeginner Staff
Dave, we updated the article to include a method that will share your post link instead of youtube video. Follow the instructions in the section « Adding WordPress Post Link in Share Button Overlay on YouTube Videos ».
Dave
I was going to go back and edit my comment because I had a « D’oh » moment and noticeed I never activated the site plugin. I wasn’t able to edit because my comment needed to be approved.
When I did activate it my facebook and twitter share options didn’t overlay the video. They were below the video.
I don’t know, maybe I did something wrong in the process.
I like your site and will continue to come back for more great articles.
Jessie Delmo
how to adjust the huge space on bottom after the video?
Christenger
This is a great solution, but I have a weird problem. Some IDs works but others not.
For example, this ID works for me [wpb-yt video= »7vJdBec_B6A »] but this other not [wpb-yt video= »CYveDEem5VA”]

Hi guys, thanks for the tutorial.. I got this working in no time on my site.
But I’m using Yoast’s video seo plugin, and I noticed that it’s not recognizing youtube videos embedded with the shortcode.
Is there a way to make this happen? Perhaps a work-around where you don’t need to use shortcodes??
WPBeginner Support
We didn’t try it with Yoast’s Video SEO plugin. We will see what we can do.

Hi everybody,
How can I add « Share Buttons as Overlay on YouTube Videos » with a Youtube embed inside the Revolution Slider?
In which php and css files should I paste the codes?
Thank your help is very appreciated!!

Jay
Hey there — really appreciate the post.
I’m trying to modify the functions.php snippet so the share/tweet buttons will refer to my site instead of the youtube.com site. Unfortunately I’m having all sorts of problems. Can you help or point me to somewhere that can help?? I’ve been messing with it for an hour with no progress.
Really glad you posted this. Its incredibly useful!!
WPBeginner Support
Jay, we have updated the post and added a new snippet which shares the post link instead of youtube video. Hope this helps.

Does it work with all the themes? Like Jarvis theme? I couldn’t make it work..
WPBeginner Support
You will probably need adjusting CSS. We can’t be sure about this working with all themes as there are thousands of themes.

I have created this plugin now 27 times and still it doesnt work at all! I really need this function, could you please explain this again and step by step. Please avoid to start with « just do.. » because I am a real newbie and when I sit here I dont know anything.. I have already followed your functions.php tutorial and my site crashed completely. I under stand you are offering a great support here, awesome! Thumbs Up!! Super!!! But please understand that this is really frustrating to create and follow steps so many times and no result. This plugin does not appear in my wp install at all.
Martin
« just copy it in functions.php.. » you know, where in functions.php?? on top where it starts with 1 or on the bottom where there are numbers 300 and so forth?? or in the middle somewhere? Thank you <3
WPBeginner Support
at the bottom of your functions.php file

WPBeginner Support
Martin we understand your frustration. Can you install other plugins on your site?

Martin
sure, no problem to install plugins. I have also fixed this myself in the end, but the result was just so so, its not looking very neat tbh. So I deleted it again. I was searching for other solutions but they dont seem to exist, everything is related to « making money » or « locking content » .. why would anyone like a page for locking it up? I really need this plugin and I don’t have any money to hire people. Please offer me some support via email, you could explain to me how I can style the whole thing so it looks better. Please Please Please! I would really appreciate this. Thank you <3
Patrycja
The same here. I tried just adding it to functions.php, then with site-specific plugin. Nothing. Nada. And I really would love it to work. Does it work on all themes?
Skip
Awesome code which I’ve adapted and implemented on a test page including Google+ too. I know the thrust isn’t CSS but just wanted to make the point that I think opacity 0 is a really bad idea as more and more browsing is done on touchscreen where there is no hover event and the buttons would never be seen. I would either forget opacity effects altogether or set an initial opacity at 0.5 or use media queries to target different devices with individual opacity settings.
Jason Gooljar
Can this be done with the IMG attribute as well?
Kannan M
Awesome Trick
Pam Simmons
This is very helpful. It appears that the share buttons in this example actually share the YouTube video link, rather than the page containing the embeded video like the UpWorthy button overlays do. How would one alter the code to grab the page permalink rather than the youtube link?
Dave
I just wasted 30 minutes of my life. I did everything the tutorial said to do and it just showed a short code on my post. But even if it did work, according to the comment I am replying to, it would have driven traffic to youtube and not my site.
Madeline
Thank you. I’m excited to try this out and let you the results.
Manish Misra
It’s really good and help us to my work….
Chris
This is good. What about using a playlist ID in the short code?
Most people use static videos on posts but on home pages we use playlists.
How could this code be modified to add the share buttons over playlist videos?
I.e. to work with the YouTube Channel Gallery plugin.
BTW – UNDER the code your text says this: « The following code creates a shortcode that automatically adds twitter and facebook buttons to your videos. »
Shouldn’t that say « …PRECEDING code… »?
WPBeginner Support
Chris we have updated the article, you can now use it with playlists as well.

Nice one. I am generally averse to changing anything at the code level. This seems like a straightforward plugin candidate. Are you sure there is no plugin?
WPBeginner Support
This code can be used in a site-specific plugin.

This looks great. Could you give a very simple step by step instruction on how to install it – perhaps on YouTube?

Great article!
How do you add this shortcode now to the html shortcode editor that appears on the tinymce bar?
Steve Wharton
Pretty cool code. Looking forward to playing around with it, and adding to my new site. Thanks!
Tom Horn
Is there a way to utilize a plugin to add this code so we don’t screw things up if we’re not use to working under the hood? Thanks for this, I have seen things like this before and really wanted to know how to do it.
WPBeginner Support
Yes you can add this to a site-specific plugin.

Pam Blizzard
Thank you for sharing this, is an elegant solution.
Do you think it might work for YouTube Playlists as well, with the « PLxxxetc » syntax?
WPBeginner Support
Basically you can modify the shortcode to output any kind of embed and then use CSS to position share buttons on that embed. So yes, it should work.
Administrateur
Steven Jacobs
Would there be any way to do this with SoundCloud players as well?
Great article by the way.
WPBeginner Support
Yes it should work with soundcloud embeds, but you will have to add them in the shortcode and then use css for proper positioning.

This is quite a cool thing to do on your Youtube videos: sharing buttons. I also like those floating buttons on images added by FooBox

This is awesome, thank you!
Do you think it could be adjusted to work with playlists as well as individual videos?
