A: Hello! Thanks for reaching out to us.

1. Sure, you can use the "Embed" option from YouTube, and paste that as an iframe in a string-type column, and it will come up in the cell of that column in a player. All you need to do is provide the correct code in the cell in Google Spreadsheet, and wpDataTables would read it and display the video.

2. Yes, and no. There's cache on Google's side, so if you're using the regular method, it could take up to 15 minutes for the table to synchronize with the spreadsheet. On the other hand, you can connect the plugin to Google Spreadsheets using Google Sheets API, and in that case there's no cache.

Kind regards
