Review Vimeo’s terms: https://vimeo.com/terms Subtitle files are read from your own site. This plugin does not send visitor data to analytics services. **Development** Source development repository: https://github.com/ahernandezfriz/reproductor-senas ### Usage Basic shortcode: ``` [ahvpo_player principal="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/talk.mp4" senas="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/talk-signs.mp4"] ``` Full example: ``` [ahvpo_player principal="https://vimeo.com/123456789" senas="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/sign-language.mp4" subtitulos="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/subtitles/talk.vtt" titulo="Accessibility talk" ancho="800px"] ``` **Parameters** * `principal` (required) — Vimeo URL or direct video file URL * `senas` (optional) — Mini overlay video URL (Vimeo or file); typically sign language or any secondary video * `subtitulos` (optional) — WebVTT file URL from this site. Leave empty to hide subtitles * `titulo` (optional) — Title shown above the player * `ancho` (optional) — Maximum width, e.g. `800px` or `100%`. Default: `100%` Legacy alias: `[video_senas]` still works with the same parameters. ## Installation 1. Upload the `arielhf-videopip-overlay` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress 3. Place the shortcode on any page or post ## FAQ ### Can I mix Vimeo and self-hosted videos? Yes. `principal` and `senas` are independent. For example, the main video can be on Vimeo while the mini overlay is an MP4 in your uploads folder. ### Where should subtitle files live? Upload `.vtt` files to your WordPress Media Library. The shortcode must use a URL from the same site. ### Does it work inside Elementor popups? Yes. The player initializes on DOM changes, Elementor popup events, and first user interaction as a fallback. ### Is this the browser Picture-in-Picture API? No. The mini overlay is an in-player picture-in-picture style window inside the player stage. It does not use the browser PiP API. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ArielHF VideoPIP Overlay” is open source software.
