Great for SEO and Accessibility
Many people think primarily about top SEO, okay. But if you use tools like this, you kill two birds with one stone. Good SEO values and better accessibility for people who can't hear the video. Actually one more reason to use this.

Good Idea
Much better than just to add just the video into the content :)

Stop with the bagging for 5 stars!!!!!!!
So Sick of every time to get the message to give 5 stars. If I close that window then don't open it again at the same screen after saving or refresh. Didn't have the time to really test the plug, just because of your begging for 5 stars you get 1 star!!!! Waiting for fast update to not see this message over and over! No update, this review will stay.
