Overview
PingVid is a lightweight WordPress plugin that adds a floating video widget to your site. It works great with YouTube Shorts, as well as other standard YouTube video formats.
After the page loads, a small video player appears in the corner of the screen and begins autoplaying without sound. When a user clicks the video, it expands slightly and plays with sound, creating an engaging, non-intrusive experience.
Perfect for promotional clips, product teasers, or short video messages that draw attention without overwhelming the page content.
