This plugin returns value in JSON format. Your video-field will return data like this:

{
    provider: "videoUid", // Provider of the video (youtube, vimeo, or facebook)
    providerUid: "RANDOMUID", // UID of the video
    url: "https://www.examplevideourl.com/RANDOMUID" // the whole URL of the video
