<h3>How it works</h3>
<p><strong>Add the shortcode</strong></p>
<pre><code>[wp-video-popup video="link-to-your-youtube-or-vimeo-video"]
</code></pre>
<p>anywhere to your post, page, custom post type or template file to embed the responsive video lightbox to your WordPress website.</p>
<p><strong>Trigger the lightbox:</strong> Add the CSS class <code>wp-video-popup</code> to the element that should open the lightbox. This can be any element.</p>
<p><strong>Example (Link):</strong></p>
<pre><code><a href="#" class="wp-video-popup">Watch Video</a>
</code></pre>
<h3>Example Shortcodes</h3>
<p>For <strong>YouTube</strong>:</p>
<pre><code>[wp-video-popup video="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlUKcNNmywk"]
</code></pre>
<p>For <strong>Vimeo</strong>:</p>
<pre><code>[wp-video-popup video="https://vimeo.com/136696258"]
</code></pre>

<pre><code>[wp-video-popup video="https://rumble.com/embed/v4j2rri/?pub=4"]
</code></pre>
<h3>Shortcode attributes</h3>
<p>Here is a list of available shortcode attributes to further customize the viewing experience.</p>
<p><strong>Mute video:</strong></p>
<pre><code>mute="1"
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Hide related videos (YouTube):</strong><br />
Since September 2018, hiding related videos is no longer possible. Instead, videos from your channel will be shown.</p>
<pre><code>hide-related="1"
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Start video at a specific time (value in seconds):</strong></p>
<pre><code>start="24"
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Portrait mode (Vimeo):</strong></p>
<pre><code>portrait="1"
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Example shortcode with shortcode attributes applied:</strong></p>
<pre><code>[wp-video-popup mute="1" start="24" video="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlUKcNNmywk"]
</code></pre>
<h3>Advanced</h3>
<p>To add additional parameters to the embed URL, use the filter below. For example, to remove the YouTube branding:</p>
<pre><code>function prefix_your_custom_embed_url_attributes( $video_url ) {
    $video_url .= '&amp;modestbranding=1';
    return $video_url;
}
add_filter( 'wp_video_popup', 'prefix_your_custom_embed_url_attributes' );
</code></pre>
