Description

Simple Video Preview is a Gutenberg block that allows you to easily embed video previews from various online video services such as YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, and Wistia. When users click the play button, they are redirected to the video service to watch the video in a new tab.

**Translation: **
The plugin is fully translated into French and the translation system is operational for other languages.

**Eco-Responsibility: **
By using video previews instead of embedding full videos, you reduce the data load and energy consumption, contributing to a more sustainable web experience.

**Accessibility: **
Simple Video Preview is designed with accessibility in mind, ensuring that all users, including those with disabilities, can easily interact with the video previews.

**Privacy: **
Simple Video Preview does not deposit any cookies on the user’s device. This ensures that user privacy is respected and no tracking is performed by the plugin.
