Free Youtube Embed WordPress Plugin. Livestream your event and more

Youtube Embed Plus is a free plugin for WordPress developed by Embed Plus for Youtube. With this plugin tool, users can embed and customise a video, playlist, channel, gallery, premier and live stream. It comes free, and you can download it directly from WordPress.org.

This plugin is fully compatible with other page builders, such as Elementor, Beaver Builder, SiteOrigin, and Visual Composer. Page builders that have a shortcode widget can use this plugin to embed video, gallery, live stream or premier. You must first create the relevant shortcode in the plugin’s wizard and then embed it in the page builder’s shortcode widget.

Youtube Embedding Focussed on Performance

This tool focuses on performance with an option to defer parsing of JavaScript and lazy load. Other than that, you can notice the fast loading speed of Youtube services on your page. These options will increase your page’s GTmetrix score over the standard embedding.

Customisation Options

Go beyond what WordPress offers and choose from several automatic defaults and parameters. To customise embeds, users can add specific lazy loading effects, hide related videos at the end, and set the default volume with which the video plays.

Interactive Live Streaming Features

This option allows you to automatically embed a live stream video on your page from a YouTube channel. You can go further and add the YouTube live chatbox too. If time remains until the start of your stream, you can use a placeholder like a countdown to notify your guests and visitors about the starting time. This placeholder will be replaced by the video stream when it begins.

Embed your videos easily

This plugin comes with wizards and automatic defaults, live streaming options, playlist and channel galleries, lazy loading effects and related animation effects, a comprehensive analytics dashboard, and full mobile compatibility. On top of all that, you also have a neat function for video SEO tagging. 

These options and functions make Youtube Embed Plus for WordPress stand out. You’ll also enjoy the incredible performance on your site. However, the Pro version has plenty of advanced tools you may need for larger sites.
