Interactive Video Engagement Pro – WordPress Plugin

Video Engagement adds like, dislike and bookmark buttons to videos, posts and pages. Counts update instantly through AJAX, so visitors never wait for a page reload.

From the Video Settings screen you set the button size, main colour, hover colour and active colour, and you can paste your own SVG code for each icon. A reset button puts everything back to default. Place the buttons anywhere with the [interactive_buttons] shortcode.

The plugin is small, loads only what it needs and stores counts efficiently in the database.
