Video Gallery Themes in Vimeotheque

All WP video gallery themes available in Vimeotheque will give you the option to customize the video embed and some video gallery themes will allow to set additional specific options.

1. Default Video Gallery Theme

The free version of Vimeotheque showcases 1 WordPress video gallery theme named “Default”. The default video gallery theme will display videos into a list, with a customizable video embed displayed either on top of the list, left of the videos list or on the right side of the video gallery list.

2. Video Gallery Theme “Wall”

The video gallery theme “Wall”, which is part of the PRO add-on, showcases the videos into a masonry styled display which optionally allows videos to be embedded into a video lightbox with navigation between the elements of the video gallery.

3. Carousel video gallery theme

The second PRO video gallery theme, Carousel, displays the videos into a carousel navigation under the video embed. Same as the other 2 themes, it allows auto play and video embedding options.
