FUNCTION

Display video embeds with a floating video effect, fixed to the page corner during scroll. Sticky video player has auto-play options, size/position customizations, and high-performance for pagespeed.

DESCRIPTION

Plugin displays video embeds (e.g. YouTube/Vimeo) in a “sticky” floating video player, fixed to page corner during scroll. Allowing visitors to watch/listen to videos while scrolling down the page. Increasing site engagement time and overall user experience.

FREE version is powerful enough for anyone, while PRO version has extra features and customizations for more demanding sites. Built by WPJohnny, you know this plugin is ultra-lightweight with virtually zero page-speed impact (only 5KB weight in CSS/JS assets).

Great feature for:

• content sites
• tutorials, how-to
• sales pages
• travel, real estate
• …endless possibilities!

FREE FEATURES:

• YT/Vimeo compatible – automatically detects YouTube & Vimeo embedded videos.
• Customizable – adjust default sticky player size & position for all screen sizes (desktop, tablet, mobile).
• Auto Play – choose whether sticky videos play immediately on page load. (Sound starts muted for browser compatibility).
• Closeable – users can X-close the sticky video player.
• Fast Performance – ultra-lightweight (3kb total CSS/JS) only loads on pages with video embeds. Can also unload plugin CSS and manually enqueue in theme CSS.
• Auto stick – choose whether sticky video appears in sticky position immediately on page load (no scroll required).
• Exclude – can manually disable function on individual posts/pages.

PRO FEATURES:

• Multiple Videos – allow multiple videos in sticky position (via slideshow layout), FREE version only allows 1st video embed on each page.
• Visitor Resize – visitors can resize sticky video player.
• Visitor Reposition – visitors can reposition sticky video.
• Theme options – choose minimal, light, dark, or custom colors for sticky video player.
• Additional networks – support more video networks (Daily Motion, Wistia, Facebook, X/Twitter, TikTok, HTML 5).

FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS:

• Custom video shapes – different video container shapes (circle, triangle, etc). Perhaps different shapes depending on video orientation, networks, or per page.
• Robust exclusion controls – a more robust system for excluding pages from sticky video effects, all manageable from plugin settings instead of each individual page.
