Extension summary

This extension was called "Quick Show Videos" but has now changed to "Instant Video Gallery" to make it more obvious as to what the extension is for.

This extension comes from an idea I had where I will often follow a link because it promised me a video but upon hitting a webpage the video is not immediately visible. That's annoying. So I decided to write an extension for Chrome that gets the videos on the page and can then display a gallery style overview of just the videos. The added benefit is that if there are links to videos too, it will display them in the gallery so you don't have to leave the page you're on to watch reference videos!

We currently support YouTube, Vimeo and inline videos (added via the HTML5 video tag) but will be updating regularly to add other videos to the gallery.

There's a quick command of Ctrl (Command) + Shift + V to show and hide the gallery if one or more videos is detected on the current web page.

** Please see the update page for the latest updates to this extension **
