Hello Jose.
This plugin seems to be what I’m looking for. But it will need some tweaking to work with my setup.

I use classic editor.

When I copy a YouTube link on it, it’s automatically picked up and embedded. This is seen on both back end editor and front end.

I would need to first have a function/snippet that completely disable this feature. No longer loading any of the assets WP uses for embedding.
(Maybe your plugin already does this?)

Second, I would need a code snippet to automatically add your short code to all YouTube links in the content. So I don’t have to manually type it every time. It will also take care of old links. Something like this:

function modify_youtube_links($content) {
    
    $pattern = '/https:\/\/www\.youtube\.com\/watch\?v=([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/';
    
    $replacement = '<p>[load_video_on_click link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$1"]</p>';
    
    $content = preg_replace_callback($pattern, function($matches) use ($replacement) {
        return preg_replace('/\$1/', $matches[1], $replacement);
    }, $content);

    return $content;
}

add_filter('the_content', 'modify_youtube_links');

I hope to hear from you to see if I’m in the right track and what’s your opinion on this.

Hello,

I am embedding a couple of videos on my website using the shortcode ?[load_video_on_click] I’m using an image_placeholder to load the video on click. But I need to add the dimensions of the video to avoid CLS issues. How do I add the dimensions (width & height) of the video to the shortcode?

Thank you for your answer in advance,

Hello,

I found your plugin while looking for a solution to load two videos on click. Your plugin is great for displaying videos and not harm performance. You can see one of them here: https://mayangateway.com/#about

I have hosted both videos in BunnyCDN. I’m using the shortcode [load_video_on_click] with an image_placeholder using the link of the image. And as you can see it seems to be working well on desktop. However, I found two issues:
1. When I add the video using the shortcode, it still takes a lot of space on my server even though, I am hosting the videos in BunnyCDN.
2. One needs to click two times to make the video work on iPhones and iPads (and I guess in all other mobile devices?)

Would you please let me know if I’m missing something or if I’m doing something wrong?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Cannt get it work with oxygen builder. Anyone tried it?

Ciao, il numero dei video visualizzabili su ogni pagina è al massimo 1? se inserisco più video viene mostrato solo quello più in alto nella pagina, gli altri non compaiono. Grazie

Ciao, come posso far visualizzare l’immagine place holder del video?
