This plugin adds a button to post editor to insert videos and video playlists easily. Simply click the button, paste YoutubeURL 
and kick Insert Video. Support for other video hostings will be added later. Video embedding can be used as a shortcode in posts 
and pages, including custom post types.
A few notes about the sections above:
<ul>
<li>Simple button in editor to add videos to your pages and posts</li>
<li>Video is embedded responsively – will fit the container, keeping aspect ratio</li>
<li>Supports the following parameters: controls (on/off), autoplay (on/off), autohide controls (on/off), loop (on/off)</li>
</ul>
By clicking > Insert Video button it opens a popup window where you can paste video URL and set parameters. You can also set start time, 
or just leave it 0:00 if you want to play video from the beginning. Playlists are also supported.
It also stores a list of recent videos where you can chose one of the videos you have used before (or saved for future). In later versions, 
there will be something like a video library to access and share videos between multiple wordpress administrators and editors.
This plugin was a part of another bigger project. It was handy and easy to use, so I decided to extract the code to a stand-alone 
plugin and make it available for free for public.
<h3>Usage</h3>
When you use > Insert Video button in post / page editor, it adds a shortcode automatically. Alternatively, you can put a shortcode manually:
[rem_video id=”XXXXX” list=”YYYYY” autplay=0 controls=1 autohide=0 loop=0]
XXXXX is a video ID from Youtube URL, it comes after <code>v=</code>, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbBmc8RC_S8 
YYYYY is a playlist ID (for playlists), like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbBmc8RC_S8&list=PLCF042F294768BFD1 
autoplay=(0|1): if 1, video will start automatically when your page is loaded. Default is 0 – video will not start automatically. 
autohide=(0|1): if 1, it will hide controls when video is played. Default is 0 – controls will be always visible. 
controls=(0|1): if 1, controls will be shown, if 0 – hidden. Default is 1. 
 loop=(0|1): if 1, when video is ended, it will start from the beginning. If it is a playlist, it will loop from first video in the list.

<a href="https://noorsplugin.com/simple-youtube-embed-plugin/" rel="nofollow ugc">Simple YouTube Embed</a> plugin is the easiest way to embed YouTube videos in WordPress. This plugin extends the default YouTube embed with advanced player parameters.

Unlike other YouTube plugins, It doesn’t replace your on-page video embed code with JavaScript/HTML code. Loading a video with JavaScript doesn’t provide any video SEO benefit as a search engine crawler will only see some code instead of the actual video object.
Simple YouTube Embed is easy to use because there is no setting to configure. It uses the oEmbed API so your videos will be responsive and provide all the benefits that core WordPress YouTube embed has to offer. YouTube videos on your website will continue to work even if you choose to deactivate the plugin.

<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g
</code></pre>

In order to automatically play a video you can add “autoplay=1” to your YouTube URL.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&autoplay=1
</code></pre>

In order to disable related videos from showing you can add “rel=0” to your YouTube URL.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&rel=0
</code></pre>
YouTube Video Controls
If you do not want to show player controls you can add “controls=0” to your YouTube URL.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&controls=0
</code></pre>
YouTube Video Fullscreen
If you do not want to allow fullscreen option in the player you can add “fs=0” to your YouTube URL.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&fs=0
</code></pre>
YouTube Video Mute
To start a video in the muted state you can add “mute=1” to your YouTube URL.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&mute=1
</code></pre>
YouTube Video Playlist
If you want to turn a video into a single-video playlist you can add “playlist=VIDEO_ID” to your YouTube URL.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&playlist=Vpg9yizPP_g
</code></pre>
YouTube Video IV Load Policy
To not show video annotations by default you can add “iv_load_policy=3” to your YouTube URL.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&iv_load_policy=3
</code></pre>
Video annotations are shown by default.
<h3>YouTube Advanced Parameters</h3>
With the Advanced Parameters extension you can use additional advanced parameters in your YouTube videos.
color
This parameter specifies the color that will be used in the player’s video progress bar to highlight the amount of the video that the viewer has already seen.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&color=white
</code></pre>
Valid parameter values are red and white, and, by default, the player uses the color red in the video progress bar.
Note: Setting the color parameter to white will disable the modestbranding option.
disablekb
Setting this parameter’s value to 1 causes the player to not respond to keyboard controls. The default value is 0.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&disablekb=1
</code></pre>
end
This parameter specifies the time, measured in seconds from the start of the video, when the player should stop playing the video. The parameter value is a positive integer.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&end=10
</code></pre>
The time is measured from the beginning of the video and not from the value of the start player parameter.
start
This parameter causes the player to begin playing the video at the given number of seconds from the start of the video. The parameter value is a positive integer.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&start=5
</code></pre>
loop
This parameter causes the video to play repeatedly. The parameter value is a positive integer (e.g. loop=”1″).
In order for the loop feature to work, the video needs to be turned into a single-video playlist as well.
<pre><code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpg9yizPP_g&playlist=Vpg9yizPP_g&loop=1
</code></pre>
