AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Chromeless YouTube is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Video category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 1 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Chromeless YouTube works
This plugin is a custom YouTube video player. The default player has custom control buttons that are hidden while the video is playing. Don’t worry, there is an option to use the default YouTube controls if you want. The player is meant to play only one single video, by simply entering it’s YouTube ID number. You can then size the player to any width and height, enabling you to display videos anywhere on your site. Every chromeless widget you create is unique, you can have multiple videos on one page, each with a different source and size.
This plugin is a must have for any WordPress developer. Adding videos to your site has never been easier. YouTube hosts over 35% of the video media on the internet, it would be silly not to utilize their their simple yet powerful website to store all of your videos.
To display these videos on your site, you need to embed a whole bunch of HTML, these embed snippets are the code needed to play each YouTube video on your site. This can sometimes be tedious and that is why I created the Chromeless YouTube Plugin.
The Chromeless YouTube Player is super easy, just drag a widget into your sidebar, type in the YouTube ID number of a video, give it a width and height and that is it.
