    Hi there, I wonder how the [av_privacy_video_embeds] functionality is supposed to work. Because so far, when I use it (from the modal window of the cookie consent or from a shortcode in a privacy policy), I cannot see that it makes any kind of difference. Please, to make it clear: I am not complaining at all. I just would like to understand how it works :-). So, by actually disabling embedded videos, videos are displayed like before, no preview graphic replacement or 2click solution and first of all, cookies are still set from YouTube. At least this is my observation so far. I checked but couldn’t find a documentation so I would like to understand:

    – under which circumstances ist the shortcode going to work: videos in iFrames and/or videos from the Enfold elements where you can add video URL’S?
    – what does it do: only block cookies or disable the display of the video at all? Or offer a graphical preview of the video which will make it start only by click on the thumbnail?
    – should it work for both YouTube and Vimeo?
    – does it actually work at all in Enfold 4.4 or is it still lacking functionality?

    Thank you all very much, a quick clarification is much appreciated. Thanks!

    Hey L+T,

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    If this option (video embed) is disabled, every videos will be replaced by a blank frame with an external link to the actual video. It will still display a play button but the video will open in a new window when you click on the button. It’s not going to load the video at all.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Thanks a lot Ismael, got it.

    I suppose I can open the video in a Lightbox using this paramter: ?iframe=true right? Couldn’t test that yet, sorry.

    Then I understood in a quick test that it’s only working when the video has been embedded via Enfold element, like e.g. the video element. It won’t be working when I use an iFrame code snippet from YouTube, e.g. in a text element. Can you confirm this? If so, will that be changed in a later version?

    And at the end, will it be possible to fetch the video preview thumbnail from YouTube instead of having a black box with a play button? Maybe you guys would like to investigate the YouTube Lyte plugin…?

    Thank you very much and cheers.

    Hey!

    Use the image element if you’d like to open videos inside a lightbox. You don’t have to add the iframe parameter. Manually embedding an iframe will not lazy load the video so it’s not recommended if you like your videos to be GDPR compliant. For the preview, try to use the video element’s fall back image.

    Best regards,
    Ismael
