Really Simple Featured Video plugin provides a really straightforward way of adding featured video support to your Posts, Pages & WooCommerce Products. Adding your own videos to the site is a breeze and you get an easy to use settings panel with the options you really need.
Show those videos wherever you build: your theme's featured image spot, the
Featured Video block in the block editor and Site Editor, a shortcode, or the Elementor and Bricks builders.
🚀 Take a better look at Really Simple Featured Video
With Really Simple Featured Video you get a metabox at posts, pages, CPTs & Woo products edit screen sidebar, with a very similar interface as you're used to with featured image.
You get a really simple settings page which has all the controls you need for managing featured videos throughout your site. Video Tools is where you manage those videos, upload many at once, and see views and plays. Explore it yourself for a better look or take a look at screenshots below.
