External services
This plugin can load videos and thumbnails from third-party video platforms, and uses Freemius for optional paid plans, licensing, and updates. Below is what connects from your WordPress site, what is sent, and when.
Video embeds (visitor’s browser)
When a gallery or single video page displays a video, the visitor’s browser may load embed players and assets from the host you chose for that video (YouTube, Vimeo, Youku, Dailymotion, Bilibili, or a self-hosted file from your site). The plugin does not upload your WordPress content to those hosts; it outputs embed markup or links using the URL you saved on each video.

img.youtube.com). oEmbed/embed data is requested through WordPress when resolving a YouTube URL. Sent: the video URL (and standard HTTP request metadata). When: saving or displaying a YouTube video, or when a thumbnail is built from oEmbed.
