<p>If you care about performance, privacy, and user experience, this block is for you.</p>
<p>This plugin enhances the default YouTube and Vimeo blocks—including any existing blocks—and changes their behavior to only load the video thumbnail until a visitor chooses to play the video.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Load YouTube videos faster (uses the <code>lite-youtube</code> custom-element)</li>
<li>Load Vimeo videos faster (uses the <code>lite-viemo</code> custom-element)</li>
<li>Loads YouTube videos from nocookie.youtube.com for enhanced privacy</li>
<li>Works without JavaScript (shows link to video instead in a player-like design)</li>
<li>No plugin lock-in! Automatically improves the core Embed block. Turn the plugin off and the behavior goes back to the WordPress default.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Want more features?</h4>
<p>I’m considering building a PRO version with the potential following features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Options to set a custom start and end time</li>
<li>Custom thumbnail images for videos</li>
<li>Custom aspect ratios for videos</li>
<li>Support for YouTube shorts</li>
<li>Control whether to load video from nocookie.youtube.com or not</li>
<li>Adjust the image quality of the thumbnail</li>
<li>Support for playlists, not just single videos</li>
<li>Full support for all YouTube query parameters (https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters)</li>
<li>Classic Editor / [embed] shortcode support</li>
</ul>
<p>If enough people express interest, I’ll build it! <a href="https://mrwweb.com/wordpress-plugins/enhanced-embed-block/#pro" rel="nofollow ugc">Let me know if you’re interested!</a></p>
