Present videos in responsive popups
Video Popup Premium is a WordPress plugin for displaying YouTube, Vimeo, MP4, and WebM videos in responsive lightboxes and popups. It supports both visitor-initiated popups and automatic on-page-load displays, giving site owners a way to place video content into different parts of a site without presenting it as a standard embedded block.
The plugin is intended for video promotion, product presentations, announcements, and other pages where a video needs focused attention. You can create unlimited popups and use the available controls to shape how and where they appear.
Flexible popup creation
Build a popup with the user-friendly builder in the Classic Editor. Detailed explanations are provided under every option, helping you configure the popup according to the intended video source and display behavior.
- Create unlimited popups for YouTube videos.
- Display Vimeo videos in a lightbox or popup.
- Use MP4 and WebM video files.
- Present videos in an elegant, responsive design.
- Choose an on-click trigger or an on-page-load display.
Click-triggered popups can be connected to content through shortcode support. Shortcodes work with Gutenberg and page builders, making it possible to place a video popup where the relevant page content is created.
On-page-load video displays
The public on-page-load feature lets you configure a video to appear automatically as a popup across multiple locations, such as all posts or all pages. This can be useful when the same video message needs to be presented consistently throughout a selected area of a site.
To configure this behavior, open the Video Popup menu in the WordPress admin area and select Public On-Page Load. The plugin provides explanations for the available options, so the display can be set up according to the required locations and presentation.
Practical uses
Use Video Popup Premium to place a product video behind a link, introduce visitors to a service, show a promotional message on page load, or present media without dedicating the entire page to a video player. The unlimited popup setup allows different videos and display rules to be prepared for different content areas.
The plugin is described as lightweight and includes responsive design for a modern video presentation. Its popup approach can be used with YouTube, Vimeo, MP4, and WebM sources within one WordPress site.
