Video Dashboard

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 700+ in roughly 199 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   It’s the perfect plugin to introduce clients to wordpress with tutorials in the dashboard. Sadly just updated 6 months ago, so I am a bit scared that it crashes my site all the time I install it :).

   Still works great in July 2020 even though it hasn’t been updated for a while. I am using the Divi framework and it’s great. I like this one because it allows you to add the videos to the dashboard so they see them as soon as they are logged in. Others require users to click the menu item on the left. This is not as clear for clients/users who aren’t used to the WP dashboard. Works great for client support videos.

   I’ve been working now a while with this plugin to offer a better service to my clients. With small youtube tutorials, suited to their needs, I can give a much higher support quality and connect with my customers way better as a freelancer 🙂

   Adding screencast tutorials helps users complete tasks themselves. Perfect when you get a question likely to pop-up again. A tutorial video in the backend is right where its needed. Tip: Add videos to the list in reverse order so the most recent one is at the top.

   This is a very basic but useful video plugin that allows user to add videos to the WordPress dashboard. This plugin allows one to add video tutorials e.g. for owner of their website. Suggested improvements: – control which specific role(s) will see the videos – add ability to show a title, description above/below (?) each video and the whole section – fix PHP notices
