Video Embed & Thumbnail Generator free WordPress plugin
Description
A plugin to make embedding videos, generating thumbnails, and encoding files easier. Not compatible with the new Block Editor. Please continue to use the Classic Editor. Still 100% free, but some advanced features may be converted to premium add-ons in the future. More info in the support forum. This plugin adds several fields to any video uploaded to the WordPress Media Library. Just choose a few options, make thumbnails, click “Insert into Post” and you’ll get a shortcode in the post editor that will embed a flexible, responsive HTML5 video player with Flash fallback for unsupported browsers. You have the option to use a few different video players: Video.js (files are included with the plugin) The WordPress default player using MediaElement.js, which was introduced in WordPress version 3.6 JW Player 6 (if their old, discontinued plugin is already installed. This plugin does not work with JW Player 7 yet.) Adobe’s Strobe Media Playback Flash player (deprecated) No matter which player you use, the video will responsively resize to fit the container it’s in. If you provide multiple H.264 resolutions, the plugin can automatically select the one closest to the size of the player or a resolution of your choice, and provide a button for users to select the resolution manually. If you have Google Analytics set up on your site, the plugin will automatically send Google Analytics Events when users start, reach 25%, 50%, 75%, and complete watching your videos. You can also use the plugin to create a popup video gallery. The shortcode uses options similar to the WordPress image gallery shortcode. In its simplest form use the code [KGVID gallery=”true”] to create a gallery of all videos attached to the post. Thumbnail size and video popup size can be set on the plugin settings page or in the
