The best WordPress plugin for videos? Supports close to everything you can imagine, still keeping it easy & simple.

It is very likely the one and only plugin you will ever need to handle video embeds on your WordPress site(s). It goes far beyond just making your videos responsive!

Features

Classic Editor

• Adds “Embed Video” button to help you create very powerful [arve] shortcodes.
• Takes over WordPress embeds with URLs on their own line and  shortcodes.
• Can take over WP’s default video file embeds.

Block Editor (Gutenberg)

• Works with Embed, YouTube, Vimeo, Shortcode … blocks.
• Provides it’s own powerful ARVE Block with all the features the [arve] shortcode offers, with a nice UI and detailed settings descriptions.

Elementor

• Provides a widget for the entire feature set of ARVE inside Elementor

All

• Makes your video embeds more secure and enhances visitors privacy.
• Magically makes videos responsive you already embedded with WordPress default features.
• SEO friendly, lets you specify title, description, upload date to provide search engines with the schema.org data they like to have for better indexing. Pro can autofill this for you.
• No ‘lock in’ if you do not use the ARVE Gutenberg Block or [arve] shortcodes.
• Supports almost every video host that supports iframe embed codes.
• Embeds via pasting the URL in its own line just like WordPress!
• Optionally use very powerful Shortcodes instead.
• Clean shortcode syntax [arve url="https://youtu.be/yUCFRL43Zm4" parameters="start=30" ... /], no unnecessary shortcode wrapping.
• One shortcode or Block for all video providers.
• Responsive embeds with CSS, much better than with JavaScript.
• Tries to be as unobtrusive as possible, sets ‘hide brand’ variables if supported, disables related videos from other channels at the end … to help keep people on your site rather then going to YouTube or keep watching videos.
• Limited Autoplay (Mobile browsers usually prevent autoplay or allow it only muted. ARVE will automatically mute it but browser settings can still prevent it, even on Desktop)
• Custom URL parameters to use all options providers offer.
• Optional maximal width.
• Video alignment.
• Detailed description of options in-place.
• Automatic detected and custom aspect ratio.
