WP YouTube Lyte vs Video Uploads for Vimeo

Integrates your WordPress site with Vimeo using the Vimeo API and allows the user to upload videos directly from WordPress. 😎 Disclaimer: I don’t work for Vimeo and the plugin is not official Vimeo software. It just uses Vimeo Developer API to provide interface for uploading videos directly from you WordPress site. Especially useful in the following cases: If you want to speed up the entire process. No need to login to Vimeo, you can now upload videos to Vimeo directly from WordPress. If you don’t want to share your Vimeo login credentials with other people especially when running multi-author blog. If you want to accept videos in the front-end forms (WPForms or GravityForms) uploaded directly to your Vimeo account (feature available in PRO version) How it works In order to be able to connect to Vimeo you will need to sign up on Vimeo Developer Portal and request access to the Vimeo API.

WP YouTube Lyte allows you to “lazy load” your video’s, by inserting responsive “Lite YouTube Embeds”. These look and feel like normal embedded YouTube, but only call the “fat” YouTube-player when clicked on, thereby reducing download size & rendering time substantially when embedding YouTube occasionally and improving page performance dramatically when you’ve got multiple YouTube video’s on one and the same page. The plugin can be configured to cache YouTube thumbnails locally, improving both performance and privacy. As such LYTE embedded YouTube videos do not require requests to the YouTube servers, probably (I am not a lawyer) allowing for better GDPR-compliance. The plugin picks up on normal YouTube links, taking over from WordPress core’s oEmbed. Alternatively you can add a YouTube-link for a video or an entire playlist with “httpv” instead of “http(s)” or add a Lyte widget to your sidebar and WP YouTube Lyte replaces that link with the correct performance-optimized code. Some examples: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SQkWbRublY (normal video embed) httpv://youtu.be/_SQkWbRublY (video embed with youtube-shortlink) httpa://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SQkWbRublY (audio only embed) httpv://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA486E741B25F8E00 (playlist embed) httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SQkWbRublY#stepSize=-1 (video player, one size smaller than what’s configured as default) httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SQkWbRublY?start=20&showinfo=0 (video player, start playing at 20 seconds and don’t show title) Or using shortcodes: [lyte id='_SQkWbRublY' /] [lyte id='_SQkWbRublY' audio='true' /] [lyte id='A486E741B25F8E00' playlist='true' /] WP YouTube Lyte has been written with optimal performance as primary goal, but has been tested for maximum browser-compatibility (iPad included) while keeping an eye on accessibility. Starting with version 1.2.0 lyte embeds are fully responsive and can automatically embed videoObject microdata as well. The plugin is fully multi-language, with support for Catalan, Dutch, English, French, German, Hebrew, Romanian, Spanish and Slovene.
