Universal Video Player - WordPress Plugin

Adding video to a WordPress site often means juggling different embed methods for each source. Universal Video Player brings YouTube, Vimeo and self-hosted videos into one player, so the look and behavior stay consistent from page to page. It adapts to desktops, tablets and smartphones, and it works on iOS and Android devices.

You can change the colors and design parameters to match your branding. For YouTube videos, you enter a video ID and the plugin fetches the thumbnail, title and description for you. Google Analytics tracking can be turned on to see how many times each video is played. It suits blogs, business sites and portfolios that rely on video.

Features

• Multiple video sources: Play videos from YouTube, Vimeo and self-hosted files in the same player, so you can use the video service you prefer or host the files yourself.
• Responsive layout: The player adjusts to any screen size on desktops, tablets and smartphones. An optional setting turns responsiveness off for sites that use a fixed layout.
• Mobile device support: Videos play on iOS and Android devices, so visitors can watch from a phone or tablet as easily as from a computer.
• Google Analytics tracking: Turn on tracking to count how many times each video is played, which gives you a view of viewer behavior and video performance.
• Adjustable color schemes: Change the player's colors and design parameters so it fits your site's branding and overall look.
• Automatic YouTube metadata: Enter a YouTube video ID and the plugin retrieves the thumbnail, title and description, which saves typing and keeps your video listings consistent.
• Support for several file types: The plugin works with HTML, JS, PSD and CSS files, which gives developers and designers room to customize or extend how the player behaves.
• Current WordPress compatibility: The plugin is tested with recent WordPress releases, so it fits sites that keep their core installation up to date.

Best for

• Bloggers who embed YouTube or Vimeo videos regularly
