The script hugely improves load speed of pages with lots of embedded Youtube videos by instantly showing clickable and immediately accessible placeholders, then the thumbnails are loaded in background.

  1. Click the thumbnail to play the video in a standard Youtube embedded player with a full-screen button
  2. Shift-click to play as HTML5 video directly, 720p is automatically selected if available.
  3. There's also a link to open the video page on Youtube.
  4. The video thumbnail is resized to fit the available width: var resizeToFit = true;
