Works as expected but its kind of pointless

You upload videos one at a time through the block. Videos then appear in the media library but you can only add them to posts using the block that the plugin provides. You can’t then use them in other ways once they’re uploaded which is annoying.

Also, videos uploaded directly to Stream don’t appear, so you have to upload them via the block which means you can’t bulk upload.

Also, the Cloudflare stream dashboard is pretty basic.

So this approach is fine if you’re using a small number of videos but it’s not ideal if you are working with a lot of videos as you have to do a lot of individual work for each video.

So this plugin doesn’t actually make life any easier, quicker etc. It’s just a different way of doing something with no added efficiencies or benefits. So I wouldn’t recommend using it, even though it worked fine within the limitations I’ve described.

I am instead just uploading videos directly to Stream and then embedding them using the code they provide. This method is quicker as you can bulk upload and it’s also more versatile as you can use the videos outside of the block editor.

I’m happy to amend this review if and when it improves.
