embedding YT-Clips on WordPress-Page...


Question

good day dear friends on Neowin, 🤩

 

i am currently working on a new WP-project:  The actual question is: can we import yt-clips easily in WordPress - with out the use of any plugin!?`
well i thought that we re able to use the default Gutenberg editor supports YouTube URLs.  We do not need any plugin here. So far so good.


the downside: It seems so  that it doesn't download and host the YT-Clips on the site though, it just embeds them on the post/page.

Some friends mentioned that we re able to use the default Gutenberg RSS block. And  the  block is able to embed an RSS feed for someone's YouTube channel, up to 20 different videos.
We should be able to  display the author, date and excerpt.

Well i think:  What is a pity: There seems to be no option for displaying the YouTube thumbnails though.  What do you think.

The display of a Thumbnail is important to me...

Look forward to hear from you

regards 🤩

Literally works for me right out of the box, no plugins needed - use the YouTube embed block.  This embeds the clip - exactly as it should.

So download the video and host it on your site - good luck with the delivery though, because YouTube is built for this and I'd venture your site is not.

I would avoid wordpress if at all possible, as someone with some pen testing experience WP is one of the buggiest pieces of software out there and an easy way into an network unless you stay bang up to date with all your patching especially the plugins!

It certainly prioritises ease over security.

    • Cool, this is certainly helpful for a stop watch function. To do similar on Windows, was thinking to use the Windows 11's widgets, but shocker, those inbox widgets are totally broken and non-functional on my Surface Pro 7+ for some stupid microsoft half-baked-garbage quality reason!
    • They spend a decent amount of time on Earth.
    • Read the book when it came out. Can't wait to watch it.
