Add external media from a supported oEmbed provider (YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Twitter, …) to the media library

Does this plugin import the actual external media content into the library?
No, external media attachments just contain URL references to the original resources
How can I show an external media attachment with the specified width and height?
$oembed = new WP_oEmbed();
$oembed_width = get_post_meta( $attachment->ID, ‘_oembed_width’, true );
$oembed_height = get_post_meta( $attachment->ID, ‘_oembed_height’, true );
echo $oembed->get_html( wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment->ID ), array( ‘width’ => $oembed_width, ‘height’ => $oembed_height ) );
Why are the width and height settings in some external media attachments being ignored?
Some service providers, such as Twitter and Instagram, have a maximum and minimum allowed width and ignore the height setting completely
