<p>KU Sticky Video for YouTube is a lightweight WordPress plugin that automatically makes YouTube video players inside post content follow the scroll position, showing in the corner of the page when the original video scrolls out of view.</p>
<p>This plugin contains minified JavaScript for performance. The complete, unminified source code is publicly available on GitHub:<br />

<h3>Build Instructions</h3>
<p>To rebuild the minified assets, run the following commands in the plugin directory:<br />
1. <code>npm install</code> (to install build dependencies)<br />
