<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>

<p>Video Dashboard allows you to quickly and easily embed YouTube or Vimeo videos in the dashboard of your WordPress site. A settings area allows you to specify up to 50 YouTube or Vimeo video URLs that you would like to show up in the backend of your website. You can then choose the minimum role that is able to see it in their dashboard. If you only want Administrators to see them, you can do that!</p>
<p>Possible future upgrades will include more precise role control and more robust video embedding options.</p>
