Lightweight YouTube embed block with lazy loading and smart sidebar support.
Tubelastica is a lightweight YouTube embed block for WordPress.
It helps you add a single YouTube video to posts, pages, and block-based widget areas. It is especially useful for narrow WordPress sidebars, where a full YouTube player is not always the best choice.
Instead of displaying a full player, Tubelastica can display a clean YouTube thumbnail with an optional custom link. Clicking the thumbnail can open a full post on your own website, where the video is displayed properly, helping keep visitors engaged instead of sending them directly to YouTube.
