Protected Video Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Gutenberg block and Shortcode for embedding YouTube/Vimeo videos, in a way that prevents users easily accessing the original 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 configure the player theme to match your site
Note: This only provides a basic level of protection. Technical users may still be able to identify the original video URL.
This plugin is open source and contributions are welcome on GitHub.
