For YouTube and Vimeo videos, copy the URL from the browser’s address bar. You may also enter a direct URL to any video hosted on your server.

Doesn't work?

Doesn't really work with no other plugins. Couldn't find any option where to add a video. Latest WordPress.
works perfectly. easy to configure

I am so happy with this plugin. Within the first few minutes I had it configured and some of the settings I even left blank. Yes you have to create a featured image (I used a screenshot) so that the video can be placed properly, but I don't mind. That way I can choose the image I want to display instead of using the default from Youtube or Vimeo. I use WP bakery page builder on my site and no issue at all. THANK YOU so very much

Doesn't work with Elementor

I went through all of the settings, and it definitely does not work with Elementor. I didn't try with any other installations, so I'm not sure if it works with anything else. The plugin is also not updated often.
Perfect

Does what it says. I thought it won't work because I have my own thumbnail function which is able to add aspect ratios and stuff but it just does.
