Feature Request

  • Hello,

    Thanks for making this great plugin.

    Under the tab Security & Privacy for the feature for “No Cookies”, is it possible that in the next release of this plugin that it does not affect the “Hide related videos at the end of playback”? You can even make it as part of you Pro version making this plugin even more appetizing for people to purchase.

    When the “No Cookies” option is enabled it offers so many benefits:

    It disables the YouTube’s “Share” on upper right hand corner of video

    It disables “Watch Later” on upper right hand corner of video

    It disables those little annoying pop up windows inside the video to watch another video that often appear right before the video ends.

    In our case for single videos the no cookies version works great, except for the part that “Hide related videos at the end of playback” does not work.

    Regards

    The YouTube API had issues in the past when we tested certain things with no-coookie. We’ve done some recent (preliminary) experiments that make your request promising now. We’ll update this when we have a more definite conclusion.

    Hello,

    The “No Cookie” option working OK with “Hide Related Videos” still would be a fantastic feature to have.

    The issue here is that we are trying to “Hide Related Videos”, but the way it’s right now you have to have the Cookie option enabled, this actually defeats the purpose of “Hide Related Videos” on most videos, because now you have those little boxes or “Video Overlays” showing related videos in a different way.

    I was hoping that in the last update of the Pro version that maybe the no cookie feature working ok with “Hide Related Videos” would have been implemented, this would “Hide Related Videos” including “Video Overlays” and hide other annoying YouTube features like YouTube’s “Share”, and “Watch Later” . The idea here is to try to keep our users on the site as long as possible reducing the bounce rate.

    I hope you are still working on developing this feature, it’s incredibly beneficial to those using your plugin.

    If for some reason you happen to have a “hot fix” with a code that we could just temporarily drop maybe on our functions.php file until the next update, this would be fantastic.

    Again thanks for developing this plugin and for keeping it up to date.

    Best regards,
