AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
YouTube Play Icon is a category-leading 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 YouTube Play Icon works
This plugin adds a play icon to the beginning of the page title whenever an embedded YouTube video is playing. When all videos on the page have stopped playing, the play icon is removed from the page title. This mimics the page title behavior when playing a video on youtube.com. If visitors to your site have several browser tabs open, this is a convenient way they can quickly identify which browser tab contains a web page that is playing video content (making noise).
Also included is the option to display a pause icon in the page title when a video is paused, and the ability to selectively disable the plugin on all pages, all posts, the front page, the home page or on sticky posts, if desired.
