Automatic YT thumbnails with play button

Hi everyone,

I’d like to quickly create posts composed of video from YT and description. I want to limit my role only to inserting the embed and description below. Plugin should generate a thumbnail for main collection and play button in the middle of it. Does already exist such a thing?

“Video Thumbnails” Plugin has two disadvantages or I can’t configure it. First: it inserts a featured image at the beginning of the post. Why do I need a featured image in the video post if the video itself is also a featured image? Second: VT doesn’t put a play button on a thumbnail in the main collection. Here is a description of how to insert a button: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-add-thumbnails-for-youtube-videos-in-wordpress/ Featured image can also be easily removed by CSS+JS, but isn’t there really an easier way?

And this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/smart-youtube/ doesn’t even encourage testing at all because of the last update date.
