Cool plugin @Monkey :)
Nice to see motivation and effort putted towards building new stuff for Q2A.

I have one suggestion of improvement. Before the video starts playing, you can see the YouTube player loading in the background for a split second.

If you're using the YouTube API you can smooth this transition by temporarily add a background image at first, which can be the video's Thumbnail, and then once the player starts playing, you can remove or fade out the background image.

Something like:

<div class="temporary-bg"></div>

 CSS:

.temporary-bg {
    background-image: url(https://img.youtube.com/vi/lRTtMcx6rSM/maxresdefault.jpg);
}

 Javascript:

function onPlayerStateChange(event) {
    if (event.data == YT.PlayerState.PLAYING) {
        $('.temporary-bg').fadeOut(); // or remove()
    }
}
