Biggest opportunity: “stream”, “youtube” and “youtube gallery” 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 9K of 468.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,318 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| stream your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| youtube your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| youtube gallery your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| youtube player your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| youtube playlists your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Es el mejor plugin que he encontrado para poner videos de youtube en mi pagina. El servicio de asistencia es con diferencia el mas atento que me he encontrado hasta hoy. Un placer

Lo compré para un proyecto de una web de un cliente de mi empresa y solo puedo hablar cosas buenas de él. Lo compramos la versión pro, me parece precio muy razonable, muy útil para integrar canales de youtube a la web, con multitud de opciones. Y el soporte funciona de 10, rápidos y resolutivos.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. I added this plugin to display a youtube playlist on my website without all of YouTube’s extra branding, which clutters the page a lot. It worked a treat. Also, I had a minor issue that I couldn’t figure out and the support guys were right on it, responding to my query quickly and helping me sort it. very impressed.

Unfortunately this plugin/business is a scam. We have paid for the pro version and never received the license key or email confirmation. Support isn’t answering emails. This topic was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by yoyotheboss7. Reason: License key sent

excellent plugin

YourChannel is a wonderful plugin. It’s by far the most responsive and versatile YouTube plugin I’ve used. And easy to use. Their customer support is absolutely top notch and as a bonus it’s super affordable. Thank you to their entire team. They and their plugin in are a standout in the WordPress ecosystem.

I bought this plugin in the year 2015 (8Y). Initially when I had trouble configuring “Nub” was very helpful taking me step by step. I have been very happy using this plugin for the past 8Y. Never had any issue with the plugin. It always worked. Now I realized that I haven’t updated to the latest version. When I approached the owner, “Nub” after all these years is able to help me again by giving a major discount appreciating my long term association with them. Appreciate their goodwill gesture towards me. Thank you and wish you good luck for your business.

Until recently everything was fine, I could see the last 5 videos. Now without changing anything, I only see 1 video (only the last one).My setting is: Videos per load – 5, but it doesn’t work.
