Plugin to Show Video in Lightbox and autofetch video thumbnail
 
Hi,

Can someone suggest me some good plugin to show video in a lightbox?
I want to do something similar like at http://www.adroll.com/features

Secondly, any good plugin to autofetch video thumbnail?
I'm using WP auto embed function (just need to put the video url in the post edito)

There is a Video Lightbox plugin. I haven't tried it but it seems well reviewed.

Here is a plugin that gets thumbnails from several major video services

Thanks Nick, The Video Thumbnail plugin works perfectly.

Just wonder, is there any way to auto enable lightbox on video? Any other plugin? Because the plugin you mentioned above required the use of shortcodes. WP 4.3 introduced the auto embed video feature, and most of my users on put the link of the video on the post editor. Therefore, the use of shortcodes for this seems not practical. Any thought?

I'm not sure of anything that would work like that. You would have to defeat the embed feature in the WP videos (this feature has actually been around a long time but no one seemed to know about it) and do some other funky things to output something else, then use the oembed built into WordPress to generate the lightbox.
