The Best WordPress Plugin For Videos
http://thriveplugins.com
a picture speaks a thousand words, then a video tells a million more. Having videos shared and embedded on your content or site would make your content and site look lively and better present your messages. Youtube appears to be one of the most common sources (besides that we have Vimeo and other video links). In our Youtube video tutorial, we have showed you the 3 simple ways you can do to embed a Youtube video into your content. But there are a lot of things we can do more than just an embedded video. Think about all other options like a video playlist, video slider or video background.
With the growth of WordPress plugins, yes we can do all the above things using third party plugins. From a long list of WordPress plugins, we have picked out 7 best WordPress video plugins for your site. Scroll down and explore them.
TubePress (Free & Premium)
TubePress
With over 500,000 downloads, this highly downloaded WordPress TubePress plugin allows you to embed YouTube and Vimeo videos into your blog and create a beautiful video gallery page or sidebar widget. You can choose to display your YouTube channel, playlists or other random videos sorted by tags. The setup and configuration steps for this plugins is quite simple and straightforward. After configure the plugin into your site, simply use the shortcode [tubepress] in your post/page and your video gallery with TubePress will be nicely displayed.
TubePress is available both for Free and Premium. The premium version, TubePress Pro, has obviously more features, yet you should refer to the comparison between two versions to make your own decision. One minus point is that TubePress does not support responsive design. You need to meddle with the CSS code in your theme style file to achieve this feature. For more visual input, see at TubePress demo.

Video Gallery WordPress Plugin (For $15)
Video Gallery WordPress
This $15 WordPress plugin by Digital Zoom studio is not only a video gallery but more like a media gallery where you can add videos, images and audios into the player. The plugin even supports loading your ads in the type of YouTube, video or image before the video plays. What I like most about Video Gallery WordPress plugin is that it allows you to remove the YouTube trademark and replace your own logo instead. Social sharing and embed code buttons are made to be visible and clickable on screen. Should you need to change any of its skin and appearance, this video plugin is highly customizable with its multiple skins and menu options. If you take time to learn its API and CSS, customizing everything is not a far stretch.
