 * Hi there,
 * I was wondering if adding microdata is a default setting of this plugin because
   they are important for SEO purpose. I can’t tell if loading these microdata can
   really affect the website speed.
 * I would like to know your point of view in regard to this.
 * Cheers

 * yes, it is on by default but no it has no impact on website speed, only on “discoverability”
   of the embedded videos.
 * hope this clarifies,

 * After activating this option, Google Search Console warns me that are missing
   4 fields: thumbnailUrl, name, description and uploadDate in each embedded videos.
   Do you know how to solve this issue?
    Cheers

 * Tick the “cache thumbnails” option, which will also make fully LYTE work on mobile(
   but as a downside requires 2 clicks from users to play as autoplay doesn’t work
   on mobile) and which will allow Google to “see” the microdata as well.

 * Hi there,
    I have tried to enable the cache thumbnails so now let’s see if Google
   will see the microdata.
 * One more thing: I don’t know why the preview thumbnail is not showing.
    Check

 * Do you mean, trying to add this code snippet?
 *     ```
       add_filter('lyte_match_thumburl','lyte_thumbnail_fixer');
       function lyte_thumbnail_fixer( $thumb ) {
           return $thumb . '&fix=it';
       }
       ```
   
 * Where should I add it?
