What is vEmbed (Video Embed)?
vEmbed is an automatic video embed library for WordPress sites that supports over 20+ popular video sharing sites. It’s a tool that would aid you when you want to embed videos in your post by just pasting its video URL without needing to copy & paste its embed code. It saves you the time for hunting its embed code!
How does it work?
A simple video URL will be converted into a video embed-ready code.
