This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/webdevs-pro/youtube-featured-image/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
Updates itself. It ships its own updater (Plugin Update Checker), so new versions appear under Dashboard → Updates.
Readme github.com/webdevs-pro/youtube-featured-image ↗

This plugin automatically sets a post thumbnail from a YouTube video URL in the Gutenberg post editor.

The plugin will check YouTube maxresdefault.jpg first, if the video doesn't have a hi-res thumbnail, check sddefault.jpg and then hqdefault.jpg.

The plugin also scales and crops the uploaded image to 1280x720 (16:9 aspect ratio).
