Lazy load videos and sticky control

This plugin enhances page load times by loading only the YouTube video preview image initially. Additionally, it offers the option to make your video sticky, positioning it at the top or bottom of the window when the user scrolls away from the video viewport.

Features

• Lazy Load Videos: Reduce the amount of time it takes to load your video by loading just the video thumbnail.
• Multiple Video Support: You may quickly and simply add more than one video to a page. Videos can only be played one at a time, and when one is playing, the other one instantly pauses.
• Sticky Video: Keep videos visible as you navigate by adhering them to the top or bottom of the screen to ensure ongoing playback.
• Custom Styling: Adapt your videos’ look to perfectly match the style of your website by using your own CSS.

Usage

Method 1: Using the Classic Editor (WP Editor)

1. Generate Shortcode in WP Editor:

   • Open the post/page where you want to add the YouTube video.
   • In the WordPress editor, click on the LLVASC icon. This will open a popup window.

   • After entering the video ID, click “Ok”. This action will generate and insert a shortcode into your content.

2. Shortcode Format:
