This plugin can be used to insert a video preview, which is inserted from another site. If the author deletes the video, then the photo preview will also disappear. So you can track a remote video on the site and replace it with another. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ac91c7d73bb4501567ab3790755bf001d53dac8d1f4311a2480a5fb62dfb180c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great work!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-work-338/)󠁿 [Claudio Sanches](https://profiles.wordpress.org/claudiosanches/) September 3, 2016 🙂 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/47cd7962239f71e643b9b00f5eae21c1a4a33793fe2206946dbbabdc34ee93d7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-2468/)󠁿 [Valerio Souza](https://profiles.wordpress.org/valeriosza/) September 3, 2016 I Like this plugin.
