Tell us what you are trying to do?
I would like to take our YT feed and drop it into a masonry grid view and have it dynamically pull the videos (set it and forget it sort of thing). The page would always have the latest publically released video without having to manually create a new post for each video.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
No, I searched but may have missed anything on this topic. Most of what I found was concerning a single video instance and not a loop

Is there a similar example that we can see?
Not that I know of.

What is the link to your site?
It is under development so no current link

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Toolset can help build a masonry view to display videos, but it won't create the post videos directly for YouTube. You'll need custom code to check the YouTube channel and create video posts when needed. Or you may use a 3rd party plugin that is designed for that purpose. For example:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/feeds-for-youtube/

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
