YouTube Embed WordPress Plugin. Embed a responsive video, YouTube channel gallery, playlist gallery, or YouTube.com live stream (with GDPR options)

== Description ==

**Your WordPress YouTube embed, YouTube gallery (channel and playlist), and even YouTube live stream can be customized in a wide variety of ways with this plugin. Here are a few recently added features:**

* Compatible with the WordPress 5.0 Gutenberg block editor (it also stays backwards-compatible with the classic editor). Both the Gutenberg block selector and the Gutenberg classic block will show the YouTube wizard button.  For the Gutenberg block selector, click on the (+) sign for the block editor list. The YouTube Wizard block is located under the "Embeds" category (make sure you choose "YouTube **Wizard**"). See more on [how to embed a YouTube video, gallery, or livestream with the WordPress Gutenberg block editor here >>](https://www.embedplus.com/embed-youtube-video-gallery-livestream-wordpress-gutenberg-block-editor.aspx)
* Privacy and Consent - Improved privacy and GDPR compliance options like YouTube no cookie, YouTube API restrictions, and a customizable GDPR consent message
* YouTube gallery capability (channel and playlist) – The ability to make playlist and channel embeds have a gallery layout. By default, the plugin can generate a grid-based [responsive playlist or channel gallery >>](https://www.embedplus.com/responsive-youtube-playlist-channel-gallery-for-wordpress.aspx). Your visitors can browse through pages of video thumbnails and choose from videos that are pulled from an entire YouTube channel or playlist.
* YouTube gallery auto continuous play - embed a playlist or channel gallery and allow it to play one video after the next without requiring viewers to click a thumbnail
* YouTube Live Stream - Given a link to a YouTube channel, the plugin wizard automatically finds a livestream if one is active in that channel and generates the embed code for you. On the settings page, you can also set defaults of what to automatically display if a live stream is not active at a given moment. For example, you can have your site display a gallery of a channel's entire video library so that users can have something to watch in the meantime. We hope it's a time saver.
* Improved accessibility by using title attributes for screen reader support. It should help your site pass functional accessibility evaluations (FAE).
* Improved ajax theme support
* Site origin information with each embed code as an extra security measure. In YouTube's/Google's own words, checking this option "protects against malicious third-party JavaScript being injected into your page and hijacking control of your YouTube player." We especially recommend checking it as it adds higher security than the built-in YouTube embedding method that comes with the current version of WordPress (i.e. oembed).
* Easy "Insert" button for both the Visual and Text mode of the editor (for YouTube gallery and live stream embedding as well)
* Embed an entire YouTube channel as a (non-gallery, single embedded player) playlist
* Start video settings for playlist embeds. You can now choose to start a playlist with a specific video or have the plugin automatically start with the most recently added video. **Note: If you’re embedding a YouTube gallery, the order will be defined by the order of the channel or playlist on YouTube.com**
* [Volume level initialization](https://www.embedplus.com/mute-volume-youtube-wordpress.aspx) - helpful when autoplay is checked
* iOS playback preferences
* Automatic localization/internationalization so you can set the player's interface language from English to another
* Instant HTTPS support. It can even convert past non-HTTPS videos to HTTPS.  Did you know that Google uses HTTPS/SSL support as a ranking signal for SERP?
* "At a Glance" direct access to your YouTube posts/pages
* Shortcode support for embedding multiple videos on one line
* General playlist embedding support
* YouTube plugin migration support

This plugin helps you easily manage the growing complexity of YouTube embedding. It provides a spectrum of basic and advanced features of the YouTube embedded player and will have you posting videos in seconds after installing it.

The settings page has plenty of default options that you can automatically apply to your embedded YouTube video, gallery, and/or live stream:

* Modest branding - hide YouTube logo while playing (note that the YouTube watermark is shown instead)
* Turn on/off all annotations by default
* Automatically center all your videos
* Automatically start playing your videos
* Autohide controls until hovering
* Loop your videos
* Show/hide related videos at the end
* Show/hide the video title and other info
* Use the light theme
* Show/hide player controls
* Turn on/off closed captions by default
* Make your video, gallery, or live stream responsive so that it dynamically fits in all screen sizes (smart phone, PC and tablet)

Customizations can be also made to each YouTube embed by adding more to the link as shown below. Adding these will override the above global defaults that you set:

* width - Sets the width of your player. If omitted, the default width will be the width of your theme's content. Example: `"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&width=500&height=350"`
* height - Sets the height of your player. If omitted, this will be calculated for you automatically. Example: `"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&width=500&height=350"`
* autoplay - Set this to 1 to autoplay the video (or 0 to play the video once). Example: `"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&autoplay=1"`
* cc_load_policy - Set this to 1 to turn on closed captioning (or 0 to leave them off). Example: `"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&cc_load_policy=1"`
* iv_load_policy - Set this to 3 to turn off annotations (or 1 to show them). Example: `"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&iv_load_policy=3"`
* loop - Set this to 1 to loop the video (or 0 to not loop). Example: `"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&loop=1"`
* modestbranding - Set this to 1 to remove the YouTube logo while playing (or 0 to show the logo). Example: `"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&modestbranding=1"`
* rel - Set this to 0 to not show related videos at the end of playing (or 1 to show them). Example: `"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&rel=0"`
* showinfo - Set this to 0 to hide the video title and other info (or 1 to show it). Example: `"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&showinfo=0"`
* fs - Set this to 0 to hide the fullscreen button (or 1 to show it). Example: `"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&fs=0"`

You can also start and end each individual video at particular times. Like the above, each option should begin with '&'

* start - Sets the time (in seconds) to start the video. Example: `"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&width=500&height=350&start=20"`
* end - Sets the time (in seconds) to stop the video. Example: `"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&width=500&height=350&end=100"`

> * How does the view activity on your site compare to other sites like it?
> * What and when are your best and worst performing YouTube embeds?
> * How much do the producers of the YouTube videos you embed rely on **your site**, versus other sites and YouTube.com, for views?

* rel - Set this to 0 to not show related videos at the end of playing (or 1 to show them). Example: `"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&rel=0"`

You can also start and end each individual video at particular times. Like the above, each option should begin with '&'

* end - Sets the time (in seconds) to stop the video. Example: `"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&width=500&height=350&end=100"`

**We recommend using the wizard, but if you're manually pasting a link, always follow these rules:**

* Make sure the url is really on its own line by itself. Or, if you need multiple videos on the same line, make sure each URL is wrapped properly with the shortcode. Example: `[embedyt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABCDEFGHIJK&width=400&height=250[/embedyt]`
* Make sure the url is not an active hyperlink (i.e., it should just be plain text). Otherwise, highlight the url and click the "unlink" button in your editor.
* Make sure you did **not** format or align the url in any way. If your url still appears in your actual post instead of a video, highlight it and click the "remove formatting" button (formatting can be invisible sometimes).
* Finally, there's a slight chance your custom theme is the issue, if you have one. To know for sure, we suggest temporarily switching to one of the default WordPress themes (e.g., "Twenty Thirteen") just to see if your video does appear. If it suddenly works, then your custom theme is the issue. You can switch back when done testing.
