This plugin adds Long Play to it.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What it does<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Paste a Long Play video link (<code>https:\/\/longplayplatform.com\/browse\/...<\/code>) on its own line, or into an Embed block, and it becomes the Long Play player.<\/li>\n<li>Or use a shortcode: <code>[longplay id=\"abc123XYZ\"]<\/code>, with optional <code>width<\/code>, <code>height<\/code> and <code>start<\/code> (in seconds).<\/li>\n<li>Works with the block editor, the classic editor and page builders that support WordPress embeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>About Long Play<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Ad-free playback on every plan - Long Play never inserts ads into your videos.<\/li>\n<li>Up to 4K, with adaptive streaming that starts fast and avoids buffering.<\/li>\n<li>Private sharing, password protection, share links with viewing notes, and domain-restricted embeds so a video only plays on your own site.<\/li>\n<li>Sell or rent your videos directly to your audience.<\/li>\n<li>Captions, multiple audio tracks, chapters and transcripts.<\/li>\n<li>Moving from Vimeo? Long Play can import your Vimeo library for you.<\/li>\n<li>A free plan that will always exist, and a Creator plan whose price is locked for life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/longplayplatform.com\/signup\">Create a free account<\/a> - no credit card required.<\/p>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin connects to Long Play (longplayplatform.com), the video hosting service whose videos it embeds. It sends nothing until a post or page contains a Long Play video link or the <code>[longplay]<\/code> shortcode.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>When a post contains a Long Play video link, WordPress asks Long Play's oEmbed endpoint (<code>https:\/\/longplayplatform.com\/oembed<\/code>) for the player code. It sends the video link and the requested player size. WordPress keeps the answer, as it does for YouTube or Vimeo links.<\/li>\n<li>When someone views the post, their browser loads the player from <code>https:\/\/longplayplatform.com\/embed\/...<\/code>. Long Play receives what any embedded player receives: the visitor's IP address and browser details, and your site's address (not the page or the visitor) so videos limited to your website can play.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Long Play <a href=\"https:\/\/longplayplatform.com\/rules\">Platform Rules (terms of use)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/longplayplatform.com\/privacy\">privacy policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Install the plugin from Plugins &gt; Add New, or upload the <code>long-play-embeds<\/code> folder to <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li>Activate it.<\/li>\n<li>Paste a Long Play video link into any post or page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"which%20videos%20can%20be%20embedded%3F\"><h3>Which videos can be embedded?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Public Long Play videos.
