Overview
The lightest weight YouTube extension for WordPress. YouTube has a built in capabilities that enable you to link to specific points in time, auto play and many other built-in features through the use of url parameters. With this plug-in you can autoplay, pause, skip to and many other features are exposed through URL parameters.
WordPress default configuration ignores the URL parameters when embedding urls into a post using oEmbed. This plug-in fixes that behavior enabling you to use the built in URL parameters that are available to YouTube video with extra features (namely muting videos).
For example:
https://youtu.be/rRr4N2nN_X8?autoplay=1
Will embed the YouTube player and have it automatically start playing.
You can copy any URL from Youtube such as starting from 1 minute into the video…
