Easy responsive video embeds via URLs or shortcodes. Perfect drop-in replacement for WordPress' default embeds. Best plugin for videos?
## Description ##
The best WordPress plugin for videos? Supports close to everything you can imagine, still keeping it easy & simple.
It is very likely the one and only plugin you will ever need to handle video embeds on your WordPress site(s). It goes far beyond just making your videos responsive!
Make sure to check out the [official page](https://nextgenthemes.com/plugins/advanced-responsive-video-embedder-pro/) for live examples of the plugin and everything about it.

### Features ###
* ARVE is now SEO friendly. Letting you specify title, description, upload date to provide search engines with the schema.org data they like to have for better indexing.
* WYSIWYG Editor. No more messing around with shortcodes and previewing.
* New improved dialog for embedding videos.
* Embeds via pasting the URL in its own line just like WordPress!
* Magically makes those url embedded videos responsive
* No 'lock in' for the above' if you use providers WordPress already supports
* Supports [almost every video hoster](https://nextgenthemes.com/plugins/advanced-responsive-video-embedder-pro/#video-host-support) that supports iframe embed codes.
* Optionally use very powerful Shortcodes instead
* One single button for all providers (for most providers not required because of URL embeds, but allows to create custom shortcodes with advanced features within seconds)
* Responsive embeds with CSS, much better then with Javascript
* Tries to be as unobtrusive as possible, sets 'hide brand' variables if supported, disabled related videos at the end … to help keep people on your site rather then going to YouTube or keep watching videos.
* Clean shortcode syntax `[arve url="https://youtu.be/yUCFRL43Zm4"]`, no unnecessary shortcode wrapping.
* Autostart (for providers that support it, mobile browsers prevent this)
* Custom URL parameters to use all options providers offer
* Optional maximal width
* Video alignment
* Detailed description of options in-place.
* Custom aspect ratio

> #### ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Finally something that works ####
So I have a responsive theme but on pages with you tube videos it wasn't making the you tube videos fit in the mobile screen. I have spent the last hour trying many plugins and researching on google and finally I installed this. And I didn't have to update any settings or anything just refreshed a post with videos and all the sudden it is beautiful and responsive on my mobile phone!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

> #### ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Only Plug-in that worked ####
I used a lot of high ranking plug-ins but they still broke my design. Downloaded this and worked right away. Thanks! [review by crconnell89](https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/advanced-responsive-video-embedder?filter=5)
This plugin is financed by the awesome buyers of the [Pro Addon](https://nextgenthemes.com/plugins/advanced-responsive-video-embedder-pro/#purchase). The development and support of this plugins has become a almost full time job for me so I hope you understand that I can not make all features gratis and that you [purchase it](https://nextgenthemes.com/plugins/advanced-responsive-video-embedder-pro/#purchase) to get extra features support the develoment.

> * **Feel good about yourself**
> for supporting my long time work on this plugin. Tons of hours, weekends … always worked on [improving it](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-responsive-video-embedder/changelog/) 4+ years.
> * **Disable links in embeds (killer feature!)**
> For example: Clicking on a title in a YouTube embed will not open a new popup/tab/window. **Prevent video hosters to lead your visitors away from your site!** Note this also breaks sharing functionality and is not possible when the provider requires flash. Try it on [this page](https://nextgenthemes.com/plugins/advanced-responsive-video-embedder-pro/). Right click on links still works.
> * **Lazyload mode**
> Make your site load **faster** by loading only a image instead of the entire video player on pageload.
> * **Lazyload -> Lightbox**
> Shows the Video in a Lightbox after clicking a preview image
> * **Link -> Lightbox**
> Use simple links as triggers for lightboxed videos
> * Show the latest video of a YouTube channel by using the channel URL (updated/cached hourly)
> * Automatic or custom thumbnail images
> * Automatic or custom titles on top of your thumbnails
> * 'Grow on click' feature
> * 3 hover styles
> * 2 play icon styles to choose from
> * Responsive thumbnails using cutting edge HTML5 technology
> * **[Get the ARVE Pro Addon](https://nextgenthemes.com/plugins/advanced-responsive-video-embedder-pro/#purchase)**

## Frequently Asked Questions ##
### I have a problem ... ###
Please report it on [nextgenthemes.com/support/](https://nextgenthemes.com/support/) **and please do not on the wordpess.org forums, thanks.**
### How to get the pro version working? ###
1. Go though the purchase process on [nextgenthemes.com/advanced-responsive-video-embedder-pro/](https://nextgenthemes.com/advanced-responsive-video-embedder-pro/)
1. Follow the 3 easy steps you get with the purchase receipt. It is basically downloading a arve-pro.zip and installing it through your WordPress Admin panel.
### Why are my videos not filling their container? ###
You are most likely use `align`, this plugin has a option for limiting video with with alignment. If you want your videos to fill their containers then you should not use the `align` shortcode attribute. This assumes that you left the 'Video Maximal Width' field on the options page empty (default + recommended)
### Can you add a video provider? ###
I have no plans on implementing providers that include videos via JavaScript such as www.nicovideo.jp. I also will not implement video services from mainstream media news organizations. For others, feel free to ask.
### How do I embed videos from a unlisted providers / iframes? ###
This plugin not changes anything to usual HTML `
