Biggest opportunity: “embed video”, “upload” and “upload vimeo” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 11.8K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,321 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| embed video your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| upload your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| upload vimeo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| video your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| vimeo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

As a runner of multi-author video “blog”, this plugin greatly simplifies the process of uploading videos for my authors! I don’t needed to provide them with the actual id and password of the shared vimeo account.. and they don’t need to save it or remember it! Furthermore the author is very responsive and open to any feature suggestions. In short, plugin highly recommended! This topic was modified 6 years, 9 months ago by larnoult.
