- <iframe>/old embed code option
- Custom Stylesheet for videos

- Show Search box in video
- Show Titles/Ratings
- Show Annotations
- RSS CustomizationsThis is an especially interesting option. Some people who are viewing your feed on RSS clients may not be able to see the video. For them, the plugin allows you to show a preview image as well as video link.
