          What happens if the plugin can't detect the video source?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          An error message will appear asking you to select the video source manually from the dropdown. You can always override auto-detection by choosing a specific source (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.).<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Does this work with dynamic content?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes. The plugin fully supports Elementor dynamic content. URLs from ACF fields, post meta, and other dynamic sources are detected after the dynamic tags are resolved.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Will this affect my existing video widgets?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          No. The plugin adds an Auto Detect option to Elementor's Video widget. Existing widgets keep working. When editing, you will see Auto Detect in the Source dropdown.<\/p><\/dd>\n
