Smart YouTube Plugin Review

 

Smart YouTube wordpress plugin is a superb video marketing plugin which enables you to easily to attach YouTube videos in your WordPress blog posts, rss feeds and comments. It is a very efficient plugin which does not require much in the way of resources.

The most recent versions of Smar YouTube allows for fullscreen playback of HD videos and even playlists. The plugin is iPhone compatible and produces an xHTML code which helps keep your code compliant.

Smart YouTube even lets you include YouTube videos in your blog’s RSS feeds. If the RSS reader does not support YouTube videos then the videos can be added as video links with video screenshots.

Here are some of the major features of Smart YouTube Plugin:

Easily embeds YouTube videos (normal/HD, both youtube.com and youtu.be links)
Embed YouTube playlist (normal/HD)
Supports latest high quality video protocols (360p and HD quality 720p)
Allows full YouTube customization (colors, border, size, full screen…)
Supports video deep linking (starting at desired point with &start=time parameter)
Works on iPhone, iPad and iPod
Supports migrated blogs from WordPress.com
Supports migration from other Youtube plugins such as wp-youtube
Provides a sidebar widget for videos as well
Produces xHTML valid code
Very fast and light, no extra scripts needed

What really distinguishes Smart YouTube Plugin from all the other YouTube WordPress plugins is it’s speed and server efficiency. It is also one of the few plugins which supports HD YouTube videos. It would be nice, however, if the plugin would be compatible with other video hosting sites like Daily Motion and Vimeo.

We highly recommend Smart YouTube Plugin. It certainly lives up to it’s name. You can download Smart YouTube Plugin directly from wordpress.org for free here.
