What it does
Embedding YouTube videos with plain iframes gives you little say over how the player looks or how a set of videos is presented. This plugin works inside the native WordPress block editor, so adding a video or playlist feels like adding any other block. You build playlists by adding, ordering and deleting videos, and the block shows them next to the player so visitors can move from one video to the next without leaving your page.
Once a player is on the page, you can pick a primary color, set the player height and choose where the playlist appears so it fits your layout. Playback options let you turn autoplay, the fullscreen button, next and previous buttons, the YouTube redirect and playlist toggle buttons on or off. The player is responsive and retina ready, and it is built with clean HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It suits bloggers, marketers, educators and businesses that publish video regularly.
Best for
- Bloggers who embed YouTube videos in posts
- Educators organizing lesson videos into playlists
- Businesses and marketers presenting video content on pages
