Should I try taking the circles and arrows off the youtube videos in [mcgraphics.us/poets](http://mcgraphics.us/poets)? It takes 2 clicks to play a video.  
I’m concerned removing circles and arrows will break something as I’m not js savvy.

I wouldn’t mind, it’s due to that script you use. But you can also embed Youtube without all that stuff:

Thanks for the article.  
I did a lot of work trying to find a responsive option that would work with css grid. Fast Embed was the only one I found. Even then I had to adjust the circles/arrows with media queries.

I looked at some of the plugins in the article. They turned out to be for WP.

The best way to find something is on [www.github.com](http://www.github.com) (search for video player) like this one:  
[https://github.com/sampotts/plyr](https://github.com/sampotts/plyr)  
or else

Github does have js video players. Didn’t see examples though.  
I started [JavaScript Programming - Full Course - YouTube](https://youtu.be/jS4aFq5-91M). The guy is funny and does projects.
