Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
Gutenberg block and Shortcode for embedding YouTube/Vimeo videos, in a way that prevents users easily accessing the underlying video.
This is useful for example when embedding an “unlisted” video as premium course content behind a paywall on your site.
Features include:
Plyr player used to overlay default player with custom controls
Player modifications to always prevent clicking the default player
Encodes video ID in HTML to prevent finding it via “View Source”
Settings page to e.g. configure the player theme to match your site
View Player Demo
Note: This only provides a basic level of protection. Technical users may still be able to access the underlying video.
This plugin is open source and contributions are welcome on GitHub.
