You may have your own title, description and thumbnail for each video, and optional "Special Parameters".
To do this type comma then "title","description","imageurl","special_parameters"
Should look like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baLkXC_qWJY,"Video Title","Video description","images/customthumbnail.jpg"
or
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baLkXC_qWJY,"Video Title",,"images/customthumbnail.jpg"
Special parameters:
max-results=NUMBER,start-index=NUMBER,orderby=FIELD_NAME
Group your videos in categories, adjust the layout with many options, cover the logo, place a "glass" on top of the video, use your favorite shadow/light box.
Enable Cache to increase page load speed.
Also you may use it as a plugin. Just place { youtubegalleryid=videoid,themeid} or { youtubegallery=video_list_name,theme_name} in to any article.
BUT CREATE THE VIDEO LIST AND THEME FIRST
In components / youtube gallery create a new theme and video list add youtube, or one the many other popular video hosting link as shown above. Each Video List and Theme has it's own ID and name, this ID or Name you should use in plugin.
example 1:
{youtubegallery=Hot for words,Simple Grid} - will show Video List "Hot for words" with Simple Grid Theme, but create it first..
example 2:
{youtubegalleryid=1,2} - will show the gallery with video list id:1 and theme id:2

YouTube Gallery DOES NOT SUPPORT SEF!!
I'm unhappy because I installed YouTube Gallery on a site under development a few months ago -- And, it worked great.
Unfortunately, the time has come to set up CDN, minifying, SEO, SEF, etc.
I wasted a significant amount of time because I kept getting 404 errors when I clicked on a video. I assumed that this was a plugin order problem or a settings problem in the optimizer, CDN, Cache, or the Sitemap.
When I decided I needed to get some support or find another gallery, I came back to the Joomla Extensions site and discovered that the YouTube Gallery doesn't support SEF url's.
The author posted this in response to a comment in September - which was after I had grabbed and installed YouTube Gallery.
Instead of giving this extension an "excellent", I am giving it a "fair" because not supporting SEF is a major issue and should have been prominently posted so that those using or planning to use SEF don't waste a lot of time trying to make it work.
It's really a shame because it is easy to setup and it looked great on the customer's website.

Thank you for the comment.
I just uploaded a newer version (1.0.5)
So there is SEF URLs support.
Please try again.
Was looking for something like this for a while ... and then this came about. Fantastic, works straight away no problems what so ever. Thanks for that.
Recommend it to all. Cheers

This is because the YouTube Gallery doesn't support Search Engine Friendly URLs yet.
Very easy working with it. It is a nice extension, but video clip names are not shown on my page.
Owner's reply
you have to have PHP 5.x and need to create php.ini file in the root folder of your website, and include only one line:
allow_url_fopen =on
other way the youtubegallery is unable to download titles from youtube server.
