# Set “WordPress Default” as default “Insert” value for video

 * Hi,
 * When editing a video, under “Video Embed Options”, the current default “Insert”
   value is “Single Video”. I would like this value to be “WordPress Default” by
   default since I prefer using the default WordPress shortcote.
 * Is there any way to do this? If not, could you add this option to a future version
   of the plugin? I believe it would be really helpful.
 * Thanks!

 * I found the line of code that handles this. It is line 321 and 322 in videopack-
   admin.php:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       $meta_key_array = array(
           'embed' => 'Single Video',
       ```
   
 * We can replace this with the following code to add a filter and choose the value
   we desire:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       $embed_value = apply_filters( 'kgvid_default_embed_value', 'Single Video' );
       $meta_key_array = array(
           'embed' => $embed_value,
       ```
   
 * Or you could add an option in the plugin settings to make it more convenient 
   for less technical users.
 * Cheers.

 * Oh wow. It’s probably been almost a decade since I checked into how WordPress
   usually inserts videos and I can see why you’d prefer the current system. In 
   the old days my plugin was always an improvement. I’ll work on adding an option
   to the next release.

 * Please don’t take my request as a dislike of your plugin. I find it very useful
   for other things like video thumbnail generation and customization. I just prefer
   to keep things as default as possible with my WordPress install.
   Thanks for this
   great plugin! It really is one of a kind.

 * Hi,
 * I noticed you released a new version of the plugin. Did you have a chance to 
   add this option to it? I don’t see it in the release notes.
 * If not, it’s no problem, I’ll update and add my code back for the time being.
 * Thanks!

 * I did not! I forgot all about this. I’ve added an [issue on GitHub](https://github.com/kylegilman/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/issues/530)
   so I don’t forget in the next release.

 * I didn’t know you had a Github. Would’ve posted there instead 🙂
