This plugin connects WordPress to your video channels on YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, or Dailymotion, and cross-posts the videos in WordPress automatically. For example, it finds all the videos of the user “Fred” on YouTube and adds them each as a new post on WordPress. The posts are created as a separate post type, “external-videos”, but can optionally be added to your posts page or news feed like regular posts. Your videos, once imported, can also be added to any other post via the media library, or presented in a gallery using the shortcode [external-videos]. There is also a widget to add a list of the most recent videos in a sidebar.
