It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/video-embed-privacy.svg) # Embed videos and respect privacy By [Michael Zangl](https://profiles.wordpress.org/michaelzangl/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/video-embed-privacy.1.3.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-embed-privacy/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-embed-privacy/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-embed-privacy/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-embed-privacy/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/video-embed-privacy/) ## Description This is meant to be used in Germany, but can be used in any other country where you want some more privacy for your users. * Texts are only in German! #### German Background Das deutsche Datenschutzrecht ist relativ streng. Der normale Youtube Einbindenlink entspricht nicht (unbedingt) den Datenschutzbestimmungen. Dieses Plugin baut erst eine Verbindung zu Youtube auf, wenn der Nutzer aktiv auf den Abspielen-Knopf klickt. Es ist kein Setup erforderlich und es gibt dementsprechend auch keine Einstellungen. ## Installation As any other wordpress plugin. It simply works out of the box, no configuration required. ## FAQ ### How to add a youtube video Simply post the youtube link as usual ### Can I enable caching Yes, rename the file in the video-embed-privacy/preview directory. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3b5e5c155dc351f9c8474762e80b5c83c3efbe2e77ec551fbd24da01878c6219? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Nice plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-plugin-3411/)󠁿 [elschnuppero](https://profiles.wordpress.org/elschnuppero/) December 12, 2019 Very helpful for being compliant with all the GDPR-stuff and using Embeds. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7b10669ed467415cacaf7acf50920b86e59fc7c0aa5c7072bef607fa45fb0820? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Funktioniert nicht](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/funktioniert-nicht-16/)󠁿 [teresasumisu](https://profiles.wordpress.org/teresasumisu/) May 10, 2019 Leider funktioniert das Plugin nicht. Benutze Wordpress 5.1.

Ideal wäre noch eine einfache Konfigurationsmöglichkeit für den Datenschutzhinweis. Der Link zur Datenschutzerklärung hat sich inzwischen geändert, aber YouTube hat da wohl noch eine Weiterleitung aktiv, die auf die Datenschutzerklärung von Google umleitet, sodass der aktuelle Link nicht ins Leere läuft. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3ca52f8f22d88fc083278e75661c0f14b505d89ff8b0d15e305783f2b39cba78? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[funktioniert gut und einfach](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/funktioniert-gut-und-einfach/)󠁿 [donkracho](https://profiles.wordpress.org/donkracho/) December 19, 2018 nur ein fehlender Buchstaben ist mir aufgefallen: video-embed-privacy.php Zeile 32: abespielt -> abgespielt ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4b531051bf7ef0beda86407015b0e950ad8eece9675ba5586bf0731fafba9c4b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Super](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/super-1220/)󠁿 [Rene.Welz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/renewelz/) October 17, 2018 Tut was es soll, was will man mehr. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/65c1d1fcb34a2844c9000ba124a663f08b17bb9d9c3a7c350cfa9a8f24781478? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Tolles Plugin, vielen Dank](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tolles-plugin-vielen-dank/)󠁿 [mener](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mener/) May 24, 2018 Damit ist die Panik vor der DSGVO etwas kleiner geworden.
