Even “This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress v. 5.5.3” It works like a charm. Please Update!

It just works! If you’re looking for a trust worthy plugin that just works, try this out. I’ve only had a problem with it once and it was on a site with tons of plugins. This plugin saves me tons of time of sites I build for recording artist and other business that like to use their videos for blog post. Thanks for making this plug-in.
