YouTube Stats Configuration

Written By Social Hampster

Last updated 2 days ago

YouTube feed components support a rich set of stats display options. These let you show or hide engagement data on each video card, and control exactly where and how that data appears. All options are available in Framer's right-side props panel when a YouTube component is selected.

How to access: Click on your YouTube Grid or Slider component in Framer. The stats configuration props appear in the props panel on the right side of the editor under the stats or video info section.

Stats visibility props

These toggles control which pieces of information appear on each video card:

		Prop name Type What it shows
Show View Count	Toggle	Displays how many times the video has been viewed on YouTube
Show Like Count	Toggle	Displays the number of likes the video has received
Show Comment Count	Toggle	Displays the number of comments on the video
Show Duration	Toggle	Displays the video length (e.g. 12:34) on the card

Stats appearance props

These props control where the stats appear on the card and how they look:

			Prop name Type What it does Notes
Stats Position	Select	Where the stats are displayed on the video card	Options typically include: below the thumbnail, overlaid on the bottom of the thumbnail, or overlaid on the top. Overlay positions work well with a semi-transparent stats background.
Stats Text Color	Color	The color of the stats text (numbers and icons)	Use white for overlaid stats on dark thumbnails. Use a dark color for stats displayed below the thumbnail on a light background.
Stats Background	Color	Adds a background color behind the stats when they are overlaid on the thumbnail	Set with some transparency (e.g. semi-transparent black) to make stats readable without fully covering the thumbnail. Only visible when stats are in an overlay position.
