### How do I use the plugin after activating it?

Add the Video Lightbox block, or generate a YouTube or Vimeo shortcode from **Media
> Video Lightbox** and insert it into any post, page, or widget.

### Can I override the default dimensions on a specific shortcode?

in the shortcode, or use the block editor to set custom dimensions.

jQuery.

Navigate to **Media > Video Lightbox**, enter a YouTube or Vimeo video URL or ID
and dimensions, then click **Generate shortcode**. The plugin validates the input
and detects the provider automatically.

or Vimeo URL. You can choose a custom placeholder image, set dimensions, enable 
autoplay, and select a block style.
