Beskrivning
Velocity is an alternative loading method to the standard to YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch and Soundcloud iframe embeds.
With Velocity you will decrease the loading time and increase overall performance of your website by lazy loading media on-demand instead of on initial page load.
To add Velocity to your site, simply create a Velocity shortcode by selecting a preview image and media type using the intuitive shortcode builder then add the generated snippet to your page.
Shortcode Parameters
- type – Choose a media type [youtube, vimeo, twitch, soundcloud].
- id – The ID of the media item.
- options – Add optional styling and display parameters for the embedded media – e.g. rel=0&controls=0&showinfo=0.
- playlist – Is this a Soundcloud playlist [true/false].
- img – The path to the preview image.
- alt – The alternative text to be attached to the preview image.
- color – Play button arrow color.
- bkg_color – Play button background color.

[velocity type="youtube" id="239793212" img="http://yourwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/image-1263626715.jpg" alt="Play Video"]
