Description

WP Video Popup lets you add a responsive YouTube or Vimeo video lightbox popup to any page or post of your website.

Use the shortcode

[wp-video-popup video="link-to-your-youtube-video"]

or

[wp-video-popup vimeo="1" video="link-to-your-vimeo-video"]

in your post, page or template file to embed your responsive YouTube or Vimeo lightbox popup.

To open the popup, add the CSS-class wp-video-popup to the element you wish to trigger the lightbox.

GDPR Compliance

WP Video Popup is 100% GDPR compliant. No connection to YouTube or Vimeo is established before the trigger element has been clicked.

Page Speed

Embedding videos can slow down your website. With WP Video Popup, the lightbox & video are only being loaded by the click on the trigger element.

Usage

Example Shortcode to display a YouTube video:

[wp-video-popup video="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlUKcNNmywk"]

Example Shortcode to display a Vimeo video:

[wp-video-popup vimeo="1" video="https://vimeo.com/136696258"]

CSS class that needs to be added to the element you want to open the lightbox:

wp-video-popup

Trigger Element Example (Link):

<a href="#" class="wp-video-popup">Play Video</a>

Advanced

There is a filter available to add attributes to the embed-url that is being created from the video in the shortcode. By default, we only add the autoplay attribute to the embed-url.

In this example we remove related videos & the YouTube branding from the embedded video:

function prefix_your_custom_embed_url_attributes( $video_url ) {
    $video_url .= '&modestbranding=1&rel=0';
    return $video_url;
}

add_filter( 'wp_video_popup', 'prefix_your_custom_embed_url_attributes' );
