Does Not Show on Page
Installed plugin and edited the fields fine, however using the embedded short code it does not show on page. Tried to contact support to see what issue was but have to purchase before I can contact them. Since this is a demo how do you expect me to purchase it first if it doesn't work?

I tried a lot to speed up my site and also wanted youtube videos, after installing -Embed Video Thumbnail - the GTmetrix was + 10%, thank you

just what I needed
Speed matters so eliminating Youtube's slow-down until it's actually called upon is an essential for a site carrying embedded videos.
