The free Joomla! Plugin nx-YouTube Custom Field is a new Custom Form Field which allows you to effortlessly embed a YouTube Video before or after any of your Joomla! Articles (like every other Custom Field). And yes, as it should be in the Year 2017 I’m glad to tell you: its fully responsive. Compared to the most other YouTube Embed Plugin, nx-YouTube Custom Field offers you an additional set of options which can be quick configured for every Frontend Instance of the Plugin.

Please Note: Apple's Safari Browser on MacOS 10.13+ blocks video Autoplay with sound. There is actually no workaround for that behaviour. The User has to start the video playback manually.
