YouTube

Vimeo

Dailymotion

Facebook

Twitch

TikTok

YouTube includes Shorts; Facebook includes watch & reels.

Installation

Download plg_content_videoembed-1.0.1.zip.
In the Joomla admin: System → Install → Extensions, and upload the ZIP.
Go to System → Plugins, search for "Video Embed" and enable it (plugins install disabled by default).

Once installed, the plugin checks for updates through Joomla's native update system, so new versions appear under System → Update → Extensions.

Usage

Write the tag anywhere in an article and paste the video URL between the tags:

{video}https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID{/video}

Override the defaults per video with inline attributes:

{video ratio="9:16"}https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/123456789{/video}
{video autoplay="1" muted="1"}https://vimeo.com/123456789{/video}
{video width="640"}https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID{/video}

Options

Plugin settings

Default width, maximum width, aspect ratio (16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 9:16, 21:9), autoplay, muted, loop, show controls, enhanced privacy mode, lazy loading, custom CSS, and the list of enabled providers.

Inline attributes

Attribute	Values	Description
`width`	px, %	Video width
`ratio`	16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 9:16, 21:9	Aspect ratio
`autoplay`	0, 1	Autoplay (most browsers require `muted=1`)
`muted`	0, 1	Start muted
`loop`	0, 1	Loop playback
`controls`	0, 1	Show player controls

Privacy & GDPR

Enhanced privacy mode uses youtube-nocookie.com for YouTube and dnt=1 (Do Not Track) for Vimeo, reducing visitor tracking.
Lazy loading defers each iframe until it is about to enter the viewport, improving page load performance.
All URL and attribute output is escaped — no unsanitised markup is injected.

Requirements & license

Joomla 5.x or 6.x · PHP 8.1 or later. Free and open source under the GNU GPL v2 or later.
