ARVE Advanced Responsive Video Embedder (YouTube, Vimeo, HTML5 Video …) free WordPress plugin

The best WordPress plugin for videos? Supports close to everything you can imagine, still keeping it easy & simple. It is very likely the one and only plugin you will ever need to handle video embeds on your WordPress site(s). It goes far beyond just making your videos responsive! Documentation GitHub Page Pro Addon Features SEO friendly, lets you specify title, description, upload date to provide search engines with the schema.org data they like to have for better indexing. WYSIWYG support. No more messing around with shortcodes and previewing. New improved dialog for embedding videos. Magically makes videos responsive you already embedded with WordPress default features. No ‘lock in’ if you do not use the ARVE Gutenberg Block or shortcodes. Supports almost every video host that supports iframe embed codes. Embeds via pasting the URL in its own line just like WordPress! Optionally use very powerful Shortcodes instead. Clean shortcode syntax [arve url=”https://youtu.be/yUCFRL43Zm4″ align=”left” parameters=”start=30″ … /], no unnecessary shortcode wrapping. One single button for all providers. Responsive embeds with CSS, much better then with JavaScript. Tries to be as unobtrusive as possible, sets ‘hide brand’ variables if supported, disables related videos at the end … to help keep people on your site rather then going to YouTube or keep watching videos. Limited Autostart (for providers that support it, mobile browsers prevent this) Custom URL parameters to use all options providers offer. Optional maximal width. Video alignment. Detailed description of options in-place. Automatic detected and custom aspect ratio.

Each one has major flaws. This products works perfectly. If you use the OnSite Editor, then just copy the short code and it works great. [arve url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7g8-GxLTSc” /] For speed, the product uses the thumbnails from the server. So many of the other products do NOT do this and it slows the page rendering. This product should appear first on the WordPress search. Spent 3 days of my life wasted on other products, only to delete each one. review by jodani ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Finally something that works So I have a responsive theme but on pages with you tube videos it wasn’t making the you tube videos fit in the mobile screen. I have spent the last hour trying many plugins and researching on google and finally I installed this. And I didn’t have to update any settings or anything just refreshed a post with videos and all the sudden it is beautiful and responsive on my mobile phone!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! review by happyecho ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Only Plug-in that worked I used a lot of high ranking plug-ins but they still broke my design. Downloaded this and worked right away. Thanks! review by crconnell89 This plugin is financed by sales of the Pro Addon. The development and support of this plugins has become a job for me so I hope you understand that I can not make all features gratis and that you purchase it to get extra features and support the development. Pro Addon Disable links in embeds (killer feature!) For example: Clicking on a title in a YouTube embed will not open a new popup/tab/window. Prevent video hosts to lead your visitors away from your site! Note this also breaks sharing functionality and is not possible when the provider requires flash. Try it on this page. Right click on links still works. Lazyload mode Make your site load faster by loading only a image instead of the entire video player on pageload. Lazyload -> Lightbox Shows the Video in a Lightbox after clicking a preview image Link -> Lightbox Use simple links as triggers for lightboxed videos Automatic or custom thumbnail images Automatic or custom titles on top of your thumbnails ‘Expand on click’ feature 3 hover styles 3 play icon styles to choose from Responsive thumbnails using cutting edge HTML5 technology Feel good about yourself for supporting my 8+ years work on this plugin. Tons of hours, weekends … always worked on improving it.
