Reorder Video Groups - When you have multiple video groups, you can choose the order in which they display in your widget by dragging the groups either up or down using this handle and reordering them.
Video Group Name - This is the name your video group will display to your viewers when you have more than one video group. If you only have one video group, your viewers will not see the name of the group.
Add Videos to Group - To add videos to your video group, click on the green + button. You can add the following video types:

Any videos added to the deleted video group WILL be removed from your widget and will need to be re-added later if needed.
