<a href="http://oembed.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">oEmbed</a> is an easy way to embed media. It turns links into embedded content automatically. WordPress has supported it in posts for a while, but not in comments. This plugin uses the oEmbed support already in WordPress and adds it to comments.

oEmbed in Comments

still works

WordPress supports oEmbed, but only in post content. This adds oEmbed support to comments.

Disable Embeds

Works exactly as advertised. Thank you.

That does it without any extra clutter added to the admin. Thanks :)

Perfect

An easy way to drop some weight if you don’t need the functionality that the plugin disables. For me this has been a “set and forget” plugin. 

Does what it says, has been reliable

thanks

Finally, a no-fuss plugin that does exactly what it promises! Disable Embeds by Pascal Birchler is perfect if you're tired of WordPress's automatic embed features slowing down your site. Just activate and boom - no more unwanted embeds cluttering your content or others embedding your posts without permission. Love how it removes all the JavaScript bloat too. The best part? It's reversible - just deactivate when you need embeds back. Clean, lightweight, and effective!
