Biggest opportunity: “gallery”, “video” and “video playback” 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.

How it's measured →0.6%
of downloads still active
At least 60 of 10.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,319 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.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ziggeo | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| record video your tag | #24 | #20 | down 1 |
| gallery your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| video your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| video playback your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| video service your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
17 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 15 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “gallery”, “video” and “video playback” 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.
- Already on top for “ziggeo”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “60+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band yesterday and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 60.

There is a little bit of work involved in this plugin as far as getting it up and running and matching your site/theme, etc. But the support more than makes up for it! They helped me with any questions I had and gave very easy directions on how to problem solve/get things running! 5 stars for sure!

Ziggeo offers a COMPLETE solution for adding user generated videos to your WordPress website. I highly recommend it!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ haldway926.4y ago
I was extremely interested in trying this plugin and thought it would be a great solution to adding video to my website. I used this plugin along with the “video walls” plugin and I had to manually disable them immediately after installing because it BROKE MY WEBSITE. As soon as I removed this plugin, my website began working again. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLUGIN UNTIL THIS IS FIXED in the WordPress library! Not sure how this plugin works after purchasing the monthly plan, but obviously this is a problem for a plugin that costs up to $399/month. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

This, along with their form based plugins only available on github for now will change the way you think of online video. Its clean, customizable and backed by great support. Go for it!!

If you need a way to add video to your website and comments this is definitely the right plugin for you. It allows for ample amount of free testing and lots of different ways to customize the look and feel of the recorder/player. I also like how it allows for uploading of videos. I am not a developer so I appreciate the support staff being there to answer my questions when I emailed them directly. Bane really went above and beyond to help me, even with my stupid questions. I don’t usually give reviews but I have been truly impressed with Ziggeo’s dedication to making sure I am happy. I am using a paid theme and it both work seamlessly together. Very happy with this.
