Not working... except you pay, so useless
It would be fine if can be add autoplay but... surprise! only allow if you pay.So this plugin is useless. better do this with code. The only good thing is that is free to test.

This is the plugin I was looking for
This is the plugin I was looking for, and it's excellent. Thanks to this plugin, I can now easily add YouTube videos to my posts. One especially good feature is that it creates featured images automatically. Five stars are not enough to rate how good it is. However, I am surprised that there is no 9:16 option in the aspect ratio settings. This ratio is needed because many people use YouTube Shorts these days.

Does exactly what I needed.
Works ggreat for me. Grabs the thumbnail and the text. I do embed the video manually as need the video embedded in a specify way.

Does What it Says....
The theme that I am using wants me to buy the 'pro' version to do what this does. This does exactly what I need, and when I had a problem with YouTube shorts (something less than 60 seconds) I posted my support request and within 24 hours it was fixed. If I could get more that 5 stars I would. Great plugin.
