Featured video
Show it, don't just tell it
Upload a clip or paste a YouTube, Vimeo, or Dailymotion link. It takes the place of your featured image, so it shows up on your posts, blog, and archives straight away. Your theme stays exactly as it is.
NewVideo Studio auto generates featured videos from templates
Really Simple Featured Video
Use a video instead of the featured image on your posts, pages, and WooCommerce products. Upload your own, embed from YouTube, Vimeo, or Dailymotion, or auto generate one from a template with Video Studio. Includes autoplay on hover, bulk upload, and video analytics.

Turn product pages into product demos
Shoppers want to see a product move before they buy it. Put your video right in the product gallery and on your shop pages, next to your photos.
With PRO, your video can lead the gallery with a thumbnail you designed.
Video Tools
Add videos to hundreds of posts in one sitting
Stop opening posts one by one. See every featured video on a single screen, or bulk upload a whole folder of clips from a spreadsheet. What used to take an afternoon takes a few minutes.
Video analytics
See which videos people actually watch
Views, plays, and play rate for every featured video over the last 14 days. Counts are anonymous and stay on your site: no cookies, no IP addresses, and your own visits don't count.
With PRO, keep history as long as you like and see watch time, how far people watched, date ranges, and CSV exports.
Features
Everything you need free. More when you grow.
The free plugin covers most sites. PRO is an add-on for stores and agencies that want the full picture and more control. Install it on top, and nothing you've set up changes.
Free
In the free plugin
Hundreds of videos, one import
Match videos to posts from a CSV, or drop in files and links. Minutes, not an afternoon.
Autoplay on hover
Videos start playing the moment someone hovers over them, so your grid feels alive without blaring at visitors. PRO tunes it per screen size and timing.
Your best video, one click away
Sticky Video adds a small play button that opens your video in a popup, on the pages you choose.
Works with your page builder
An Elementor widget, a Bricks element, and support for Elementor Pro, Salient, and Astra Pro layouts.
Place it anywhere
Add the Featured Video block to any post or Site Editor template, even inside Query Loops, or use a shortcode. Show its own video or another post's, with player settings for each one.
Fits the theme you already use
Ready for the default WordPress themes and favorites like Astra, Kadence, GeneratePress, Flatsome, and Storefront.
PRO
Added by the PRO add-on
Every video, the same clean shape
Pick one aspect ratio, from widescreen to vertical 9:16, and every video on your site falls into line.
Know where viewers come from
Country, device, and referring site, whenever you switch it on. Private by design: no IPs, no cookies.
A story reel for your site
Turn Sticky Video into a stories-style popup that visitors tap through, just like on social apps.
Your video leads the gallery
Put the product video first, second, or last, and give it a thumbnail that matches your brand.
Premium themes, handled
Built-in support for Avada, Uncode, OceanWP, Jupiter X, Divi Builder, and more. Using something else? We'll add it.

Is the free version enough for me?
For many sites, yes, and it now includes Video Studio with 7 templates. Go PRO when you want 20 more templates, vertical or 4K videos, deeper numbers, a tidier product gallery, or support for a premium theme like Avada or Uncode.
How does Video Studio make a video?
It plays the template in your own browser, records it into a video file, and uploads it to your Media Library. Your content never goes to an outside service.
What do I need to make a video?
Chrome, Edge, or Firefox on a site with HTTPS. Safari can preview templates but can't make the video yet. Keep the tab open while it works.
Do I keep the free plugin when I upgrade?
Yes. PRO is an add-on that sits on top of the free plugin. Your videos and settings stay exactly where they are.
Will it work with my theme?
If your theme shows featured images the usual WordPress way, it will work. Popular themes have built-in support, and PRO customers can ask us to add theirs.
Does it work with block themes and the Site Editor?
Yes. Add the Featured Video block to your templates or a Query Loop, and each post shows its own video. You can also pick another post's video and set the player for each block. It needs WordPress 6.3 or newer.
Can I add videos to lots of posts at once?
Yes. Bulk upload in Video Tools takes files, links, or a CSV, and matches each video to its post for you.
Is Video analytics private?
Yes. Counts stay in your own database. No cookies, no IP addresses, and nothing is sent to us.
Is PRO a subscription?
No. Pay once and get updates for life, on one site or as many as you run.
Where do I get support?
Free users can post in the WordPress.org forums. PRO and VIP customers open a priority ticket from their account page.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. If PRO isn't a fit within 30 days, tell us and we'll refund you in full.
