The default embed block for YouTube videos sucks. It slows down your site. The more videos on the page the more it slow. This single-block plugin fixes that.
Why this block is better than the default one:
<ul>
<li>Instead of loading the entire iframe, only the video thumbnail is loaded, resulting in significant performance improvements</li>
<li>Ability to play multiple different videos as a custom playlist or input a playlist ID to play the whole playlist</li>
<li>Ability to use a custom image as the video thumbnail</li>
<li>Ability to set a custom aspect ratio value for displaying any kind of YouTube videos</li>
<li>Ability to loop continuously once it finishes playing</li>
<li>Ability to show related videos from the same channel as the initial video</li>
<li>Automatically load the video title as the caption</li>
<li>The same UI as the default core/embed, and you can use the video title as the caption of the block with one click</li>
<li>It can be transformed from/to the core embed block.</li>
<li>Automatically convert all default core embed YouTube blocks to this block with one line of code.</li>
</ul>
This plugin also provides a PHP API for developers to render a YouTube video URL as this block; or to automatically transform core/embed YouTube videos into this block.
The simplest example is:
<pre><code> better_youtube_embed_block_render_block( ['url' => 'https://youtu.be/paSXmpHU9K4'] );
</code></pre>
The example with all the parameters is:
<pre><code> better_youtube_embed_block_render_block(
 [
 'url' => 'https://youtu.be/paSXmpHU9K4',
 'aspectRatio' => '16/9',
 'isMaxResThumbnail' => false,
 'thumbnailFormat' => 'jpg',
 'caption' => 'My awesome video',
 'customThumbnail' => 'https://example.com/bg.jpg',
 'settings' => ['loop' => 1, 'rel' => 0],
 'echo' => false,
 ]
 );
</code></pre>
To automatically transform all core/embed YouTube videos on your site to this block, you need to put the following code to the wp-config.php file or your theme/plugin:
<pre><code> define('BYEB_SPEED_UP_YOUTUBE_VIDEOS', true);
</code></pre>
or
<pre><code> add_filter( 'byeb_speed_up_youtube_videos', '__return_true' );
</code></pre>
On iOS, browsers like Safari and Chrome require two clicks to play videos. If you want to allow users to play videos with a single click, you need to add the following code to the wp-config.php file or your theme/plugin:
<pre><code> define('BYEB_FORCE_IFRAME_ON_UNSUPPORTED_BROWSERS', true);
</code></pre>
Please check out this <a href="https://contentblocksbuilder.com/video-tutorials/?utm_source=wp.org&utm_campaign=readme&utm_medium=link&utm_content=BYEB" rel="nofollow ugc">page</a> to see how fast it helps. The page contains around 30 embedded YouTube videos but they don’t slow down the page.

FlexTable – Data Table Sync with Google Sheets


I reported the email as spam and am not moving forward with exploring this plugin. Maybe somewhere in there it said that I was agreeing to this but I do not believe plugins should obfuscate this. Offer to have me join a mailing list by clicking a button, sure. Do not auto subscribe because I installed.


added me to mailing list without my permission


While the plugin is very intuitive, there are advanced capabilities that I was struggling with. I submitted a support request and within hours the support team had not only resolved my inquiry, but they created a detailed overview of the specific capability I was interested in. Definitely above and beyond!
