Description

Tubelastica is a lightweight YouTube embed block for WordPress.

It helps users add a single YouTube video or YouTube playlist easily in posts, pages, and block-based widget areas. The plugin is designed to work smoothly in narrow sidebar areas, where standard video embeds may cause layout or control issues.
