  • Fantastic plugin

    Fantastic plugin. Just what I need. It can open a video in a lightbox by clicking on the text, button or image that the video is linked to. The size of the opened video is perfectly adjusted. Almost full screen, so it can be seen perfectly. The same goes for opening images. It is also very important that the plugin does not slow down the site at all.
