<p>It’s the same oEmbed functionality you know and love from your WP 2.9 post editor, now enabled for comments!</p>
<p>Your comments can now embed content from the following sites:</p>
<ul>
<li>YouTube</li>
<li>Blip.tv</li>
<li>Vimeo</li>
<li>DailyMotion</li>
<li>Flickr</li>
<li>Hulu</li>
<li>Viddler</li>
<li>Qik</li>
<li>Revision3</li>
<li>Photobucket</li>
<li>Scribd</li>
<li>WordPress.tv</li>
</ul>
<p>How do you use the plugin?  Simple!  Input <strong>any</strong> URL from one of the listed sites above into a comment.</p>
<p>When the comment is posted and approved, the URL automagically transforms into the embedded content.</p>
<h3>Blacklist feature</h3>
<p>This feature allows you to blacklist websites from being processed by oEmbed.</p>
<p>For example, say I wanted to block YouTube links from being embedded.</p>
<p>Open <code>oembed-config.php</code> in a text editor and add the following line to the end:</p>
<pre><code>$oembed_comments['blacklist'][] = 'youtube.com';
</code></pre>
<p>This will blacklist all links from YouTube.com from being parsed.</p>
<h3>Known issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>Hyperlinking an oEmbeddable link and inputting the same link in plain text will show the oEmbeddable item three times (two times if using anchor text) (not many people will do this)</li>
</ul>

<p>This plugin improves page load time and increases your Google PageSpeed Score. It works with oEmbed and replaces embedded Youtube and Vimeo videos with a clickable preview image.<br />
By loading videos only when the user clicks on the preview image, no unnecessary JavaScript is loaded. Especially on sites with many embedded videos this will make your visitors happy. Additionally, all Youtube videos are loaded in a privacy-enhanced mode using the “https://www.youtube-nocookie.com” embed URL.</p>
<p>This plugin works for your existing YouTube and Vimeo blocks. No vendor lock-in and no custom shortcodes: Easily turn the plugin on and off anytime.</p>

Lazy Load for Videos

We have pages with multiple videos and that slowed down the page load and increased network traffic. This plugin improved it a lot. Reduced blocking of some pages with seconds and reduced the page load from 3MB to 1,3MB.



Works great

Hi there,
your plugin ist really great! It kills several problems with one stone for me.
Very nice!
Keep up your good work and thanks very mutch for this plugin.

:-)

Very cool!


I noticed Squarespace has a much slicker way of loading and showing embedded videos, and I wanted it.   This plugin works perfectly to provide it so that my video portfolio page loads faster and looks better.  Thanks to the developer!


Simple solution for making video pages fast like Squarespace

Boost page speed by replacing embedded YouTube and Vimeo videos with a clickable preview image. Video scripts only load on click.
