About this tool.
Two jobs, both on your own site.
Embed video on your WordPress site. Paste a Stillhaven share link into a post and it becomes the player, for every author on the site, with fullscreen and picture-in-picture intact. Or use the Stillhaven video block, which shows the player in the editor and sets the shape, a start time and a caption. With an API key the block picks a video straight from your library, and a Library page lists your videos with a link or a shortcode to copy. There is a shortcode for the Classic editor and page builders, and a Divi module with the same settings.
Find every video already embedded on your site. Stillhaven → Find embeds scans your posts and pages and lists every one with a video in it, whoever hosts it: Vimeo, Wistia, YouTube, a self-hosted file, Stillhaven, or any other player in an iframe. Each embed is labelled with its host, the list filters by host, every row links to the editor, and the list exports as CSV. Moving a library host by host? That is the list of pages to replace. The scan runs on demand, saves its result on your site, and sends nothing anywhere.
Stillhaven is private, ad-free video hosting for creators and small teams: no ads, no recommendations after the video, your original file kept and downloadable, and embeds that play only on the domains you allow. Autoplay, muted, loop and captions are set on the video in the Stillhaven console, so a video behaves the same everywhere it is embedded.
What this plugin sends where
Without an API key, the only request the plugin causes is the one WordPress makes to look up a pasted link: a GET to https://play.stillhaven.io/oembed carrying that link. The player itself loads from play.stillhaven.io in the visitor’s browser, as any embedded video does.
Find embedded videos runs entirely on your site: it reads your own posts and pages and saves the result in your database. Nothing about it is sent to Stillhaven, not even a count.
With an API key, your site’s server also calls the Stillhaven API at https://console.stillhaven.io/api/v1 on behalf of signed-in editors: /me to confirm the key, /videos to list and search your library, and /videos/{id} to describe a pasted link. The key never leaves your server. Nothing is sent about your visitors, and the plugin collects no analytics of its own.
