ngx-lite-video is an Angular package that provides lazy loading capabilities for embedded iframes from popular video sharing platforms like YouTube and Vimeo. The package is designed to optimize the loading of embedded videos, improving page load times and reducing data usage.

The package is built specifically for Angular, utilizing Angular's onpush change detection strategy for efficient rendering and updating of video components. It also includes features such as customizable lazy loading thresholds and options for controlling video playback and display.

This package requires a minimum of Angular version 17 and rxjs version 7.8.2 to function properly.
