-Lightbox of Dmitry Semenov is used... In vimeo preview-image-URL doesn't use video-ID so you need to make API-request to get image-URL.. The thumbnail will be taken from API-response.. You can extend the Plugin by writing your own classes for Video-Platforms or other Lightboxes you just have to implement Interfaces... Upload this plugin files to the wp-content plugins video-link-gallery directory, or install the plugin through WordPress plugins screen directly.. Activate the plugin through 'Plugins screen WordPress now you can use -Shortcode as descripted... To get faster and more clean result you SHOULD also use VideoProviderAbstract class to extend from that so you don't have to write some methods that are in most cases second time... The Lightbox-Class creates the html-code for thumbnails and also the lightbox itself.. In future versions it's also planned to decouple this little bit but at the moment it was the simplest way to implement the lightbox...
