<p>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.</p>
<p>Why this block is better than the default one:</p>
<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>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The simplest example is:</p>
<pre><code>    better_youtube_embed_block_render_block( ['url' => 'https://youtu.be/paSXmpHU9K4'] );
</code></pre>
<p>The example with all the parameters is:</p>
<pre><code>    better_youtube_embed_block_render_block(
      [
        'url'               => 'https://youtu.be/paSXmpHU9K4',
        'aspectRatio'       => '16/9',
        'isMaxResThumbnail' => false,
        'thumbnailFormat'   => 'jpg',
        'caption'           => 'My awesome video',
        'caption_kses'      => false,
        'customThumbnail'   => 'https://example.com/bg.jpg',
        'settings'          => ['loop' => 1, 'rel' => 0],
        'echo'              => false,
      ]
    );
</code></pre>
<p>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:</p>
<pre><code>    define('BYEB_SPEED_UP_YOUTUBE_VIDEOS', true);
</code></pre>
<p>or</p>
<pre><code>    add_filter( 'byeb_speed_up_youtube_videos', '__return_true' );
</code></pre>
<p>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:</p>
<pre><code>    define('BYEB_FORCE_IFRAME_ON_UNSUPPORTED_BROWSERS', true);
</code></pre>

The page contains around 30 embedded YouTube videos but they don’t slow down the page.</p>
