VideoPronto – Instant Video for Local Business Websites

v0.3.0 · by vigivideo

Instant video for your local business website: add your 9 essential videos to the right pages in one click, or turn any page or post into a video.

About this plugin

Customers look for the same kinds of videos before they call a local business: a brand video on the homepage, an about-us video, FAQs, testimonials, your team, and more. ViGi (vigivideo.com) makes those videos for you. VideoPronto, by the ViGi team, puts them where they count on your WordPress site.

  • Connect in one click. Sign in to ViGi and approve the connection. No API keys to copy.
  • Your 9 essential videos in one place. See which ones are made, which are on your site, and which are still missing.
  • One-click placement. ViGi suggests the right page for each video (brand video on your homepage, FAQs on your FAQ page) and adds it for you. You can pick a different page any time.
  • Quick create: a video for any page or post. Wrote a new blog post? Click “Make a video from this page” in the VideoPronto block, or “Make a ViGi video” under the post in your Posts list. ViGi turns what the page says into a video and adds it to the page. It goes live once you review and publish it in ViGi. Works for drafts too.
  • A “VideoPronto” block and a shortcode. Add any of your videos to any post or page. The shortcode also works in page builders such as Elementor and Divi.
  • Search-friendly. Videos play in a standard HTML5 player with no extra scripts, and include VideoObject markup so search engines can understand them.

A ViGi account is required. Your first video is free: vigivideo.com.

External services

This plugin connects to ViGi (https://vigivideo.com), the service that makes and hosts your videos. It cannot work without it.

  • Connecting your account: when you click “Connect to ViGi”, your browser goes to vigivideo.com with your site’s address, site name and a one-time security code. After you approve, WordPress sends the one-time code and your site address to api.vigivideo.com and receives a key for this site, stored in your WordPress database.
  • Listing your videos: the WordPress admin and the block editor fetch your video list and essential-video status from api.vigivideo.com, sending only your site’s key.
  • Quick create: when you click “Make a video from this page” or “Make a ViGi video”, WordPress sends that page’s title, text and (if published) its address, plus your site’s address, to api.vigivideo.com so ViGi can make the video. Nothing is sent until you click.
  • Showing videos: pages with a ViGi video load the video file and its thumbnail from ViGi’s video storage when a visitor plays it. No other data is sent.
  • Disconnecting: WordPress asks api.vigivideo.com to cancel the site’s key.
