The thumbnail of the video is not the same size as the thumbnail size. How can I repair it? Also can I disable the ability to play the video in the thumbnail? If these works, then 100% this is the best Featured Video plugin

Great tutorial! I see that the Featured Video Plus plugin has not been updated in 2 years and no one has been answering support questions for quite awhile. Do you think this plugin will eventually become unusable? I did find an alternative called Simple Featured Video (https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-featured-video/) but it has fewer than 10 active installations. Don't know if I want to go that route as it has no real "track record." What would you suggest? Can you make an updated video on this topic? Thanks!

Is there a way to use this featured video instead of product image? Where ever the product is shown; i.e., in homepage in a grid or in product single page.

Hi I’d like to have rows of thumbnail videos but my own rather than youtube

Hi I'm trying to achieve a similar look to the video pop-up and display on videohive.net … I love their short 'thumbnail videos and how they popup into a video when you hover over? Do you know of a plugin and how I could implement it in WordPress? I need this for uploading my own short promo-videos too… Really appreciate help on this… Please see videohive.net for the idea…

Where exactly does that place the video within the site?

Showing the how to is good, but way too fast, I had to repeat your video several times to figure out what to do, especially since WordPress changed their menu settings layout…. thanks for your help, however.

How do I ensure that the featured video image is also displayed on my homepage? There seems to be a flaw in my theme that doesn't reconcile the two…

Thanks. That's great. On another topic, I have a search option on my site which works really well. Is there a way to ensure that it only returns posts and not pages in its results? Thanks for all your help.
