About YouTube Block – A better way to embed YouTube videos, shorts, playlists
The Better YouTube Embed Block plugin improves the default YouTube embed block by loading only the video thumbnail, resulting in faster site performance. It offers features like custom playlists, custom thumbnails, custom aspect ratio, looping, and more. It also provides a PHP API for developers and can automatically convert all default core/embed YouTube blocks to this block.Screenshots
