Overview
With this Plugin you can easily overlay all of your iFrame video embeds with either a default image
provided by the Plugin or your own custom image. This is ideal for branding your videos, making them
load faster, look cleaner and respond to the width of the browser/device.
An alternate feature of this Plugin is to simply make your iFrame video embeds fully responsive
so that they perfectly fit any smaller browser window or device.
Either feature will wrap your iFrame video embeds in unique HTML divs which allow you to easily style
your videos independently or as a whole.
