Clickable preview of a youtube video in a Lightbox? So I have been trying for a month now to get a nice gallery view working. It's a view displaying items of a custom "Gallery element" content type, that can contain either an image or a youtube video.

I want to have my gallery displayed as a 4x3 grid of thumbnails, that you can click on and get a lightbox output of the media file, wether it is an image or a video.

I managed to get the images working using the Lightbox2 module, but somehow the youtube videos need a little bit more working... So far I haven't managed to even see these videos in a lightbox. Either only an unclickable thumbnail appears in the gallery, or the full sized video if I remove the "Youtube Preview Image" display from the manage file display panel of File types in the configuration.

I do have checked the "Enable video support" checkbox in the Lightbox2 configuration, yet I cannot seem to find a way to display a video in those! One thing I wonder, is why don't I get the same field format "Lightbox2" options as for images?
Well! Thanks to this answer, I just found a workaround. I had to install the Video Embed Field module, and now I can display YouTube videos in a Colorbox popup window perfeclty fine. And Colorbox only, because Lightbox2 is still not supported by Video Embed Field.
