This plugin works like it suppose to work, it’s super simple, easy to use, no ads and annoying popups, just one gutenberg block with minimal options. And support is phenomenal! Thank you for your work. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/32cc786b59de0a33fc1fd826cdf18eb68a879449d5dd359a2403bf9812ae59ad? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect for a simple video modal](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-for-a-simple-video-modal/)󠁿 [capnhairdo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/capnhairdo/) October 15, 2024 A nice, simple WordPress block that does exactly what it says it does and works perfectly. I looked at and tried several other plugins, but they were either overkill, cost too much money, or just flat-out didn’t work on my multi-site installation. This fit the bill for what I need to do, and it’s free! Thanks, WPZOOM.I just wish this plugin didn’t have to load the jQuery framework to work, but that’s a minor quibble. One other suggestion to the deveoper: to make the button styles very explicit so that they don’t get overridden by more generic button styles from the theme. But easily fixed with a bit of custom CSS! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d5d85d79f79baba4f5b9a619c51000a67c90c4a228473a9b3d30773859ec200e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple one block for video popup](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-one-block-for-video-popup/)󠁿 [Skylabb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/skylabb/) July 8, 2023 Sometimes you just need a block for a particular feature and not having to install a plugin that adds another 20 design blocks to clutter your already crowded block library just because they have that one block you need. Well, I just need a Youtube video popup block, and WPZOOM delivers. Simple one block wonder and it works. Thank you for the good work. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d9d8cfa07d8e525a5380e38816df87c896460610cf10f01a7d5b470d24d89dd0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Ok but not perfect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ok-but-not-perfect-2/)󠁿 [Am4rok](https://profiles.wordpress.org/saphorin/) July 6, 2023 1 reply Download self-hosted video and dont play them… ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/dee401e1fe480a559f65112ceee2d7a9d2f95dfebde8d00eebc9697c6fe63a80? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Fantastic plugin without the bloat](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fantastic-plugin-without-the-bloat/)󠁿 [onetrev](https://profiles.wordpress.org/onetrev/) February 3, 2023 This is great little block plugin. It works great. And it’s so nice that it does one job (a video popup / modal) and does that one job well. I think this is way better than having to get a plugin that has a bunch of blocks you just don’t need or want.
