Video Embed plugin for Craft CMS 5.x
====================================

[](#video-embed-plugin-for-craft-cms-5x)

Generate an embed URL from a YouTube or Vimeo URL.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This plugin requires Craft CMS 5.0.0 or later.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

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.

Using Video Embed
-----------------

[](#using-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
- `isVertical` - `true` for YouTube Shorts (vertical/portrait) videos, otherwise `false`. Detected from the `/shorts/` URL form, not the video's true orientation.

**Example:**

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

{% if video %}

{% endif %}
```

**Output:**

```

```

YouTube embed URLs include `rel=0` so related-video suggestions stay on the same channel rather than promoting unrelated videos.

### Customizing URL params

[](#customizing-url-params)

Because `embedUrl` already carries a query string (YouTube's `rel=0`, or a Vimeo privacy `h` hash), add your own player params with Craft's built-in [`url()`](https://craftcms.com/docs/5.x/reference/twig/functions.html#url) function rather than concatenating onto `embedUrl`. `url()` preserves the existing params and merges in your own:

```

{# → https://www.youtube.com/embed/6xWpo5Dn254?rel=0&autoplay=1&mute=1 #}
```
