<h3>A brief Markdown Example</h3>
<p>Pros:<br />
1. Simple and lightweight — one shortcode per video<br />
2. Lazy load support<br />
3. Extra parameters available for advanced users</p>
<p>Cons:<br />
1. Designed for simple embeds only (no playlist support, one video per shortcode)</p>


Simple YouTube Responsive

Perfect

You can add a line to your functions.php to make videos responsive if you're doing your own theme. However, if you're not, this plugin works beautifully and gives other options like lazy load, etc. 

If doing your own theme, add: add_theme_support( 'responsive-embeds' );

Works Beautifully

Easily embed responsive YouTube videos using a simple shortcode. Lazy load included.
