Do I need to wrap shortcode parameters to doublequotes or singlequotes?

No. I even suggest to you avoid wrapping shortcode parameters to double/single quotes to prevent broken output when some plugins modify content with nasty filters.

Just avoid empty space between ID’s.

Is there any way to make the pop up player any bigger?

You can use custom style with following selector and a rule:

.ytc-mfp-container.ytc-mfp-iframe-holder .ytc-mfp-content {
  max-width: 1200px;
}

Just set preferred popup max width in pixels.

I’ve done a lot of shopping around for a very basic (but beautiful) youtube gallery that I can customize with some CSS. Not all of them were simple or easy to manage (or functioning on all devices.) Most plugins for this purpose were bloated with extra panels in the Worpdress menu where you had to click on a button to “style” something. Kind of unnecessary for my needs. This one works on both my desktop and iphone – yay! While I haven’t toyed with it much yet, I can just see the possibilities with a little added CSS. So far, so good! Great little plugin! I’m excited to use it to its full capacity!
