Would like to implement a dynamic video player, similar to the one seen on Facebook. Initially, only an image and a brief video description will be displayed, without loading any <iframe>
or <video>
element (refer to the image).
Upon clicking the link, the actual Youtube embedded player will appear, and the video will start playing.
This approach significantly enhances the speed of loading your web page. While I could use Ajax and put in the effort to achieve this, I am seeking a reliable Javascript solution or a third-party library for this functionality.
Any suggestions or advice would be highly appreciated!
