This plugin requires Craft CMS 4.0.0 or later.

To install the plugin, follow these instructions.

1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

    cd /path/to/project
   

2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin:

    composer require viget/craft-video-embed
   

3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for Video Embed.

Pass a YouTube or Vimeo URL to the getVideoData method and a VideoData object is returned.

If the plugin is unable to parse the URL, null is returned.

• type - If the video is youtube or vimeo
• id - The ID of the video
• image - The thumbnail of the video (only works for Youtube)
• embedUrl - The URL you would use for the embed
• url - The link to the embedded video

{% set video = craft.videoEmbed.getVideoData('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xWpo5Dn254') %}

{% if video %}
   <iframe src="{{ video.embedUrl }}"></iframe>
{% endif %}

Output:

<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/6xWpo5Dn254"></iframe>
