Hide 'share' option in Video Player

Hi,

I have an embedded YouTube video on my page using a ‘Video Player’. I want to keep the URL of the video as hidden as possible.

When you hover over the Video Player the controls show up, and one of them is the share option. In addition when I right-click on the video I can chose ‘Copy Video URL’.
How can I disable this? I want people to only be able to watch through my site and not be able to pass the link around to watch directly on YouTube.

TIA,
Bezalel

  1. Go to App-Store and search for RIGHT-CLICK-PROTECT

2) You could OVERLAY with a VECTOR the CONTROL-PANEL of your videoplayer and set it’s opacity to 100%, this would hide the control-panel.

The right-click-protect do the rest.

It’s just an idea, do not know if this works for you, at the end.

Thanks for your reply.

It works pretty well, but then I thought of full screen…
Is there a solution that would work for full screen as well?

Thanks

@russian-dima So I have added the right click protect on the page in front of the video, and it works great :slight_smile: made a button to play and pause the video.

But now I am a little stuck. I made another button to make it in full screen, but I am not sure how to do that…
So I made the click protect section a little smaller than the video player so i can make it full screen, but then the click protect is not in affect…

How can I tackle my two issues now?

A little bit hard without seein and knowing your project, BUT…!
The idea is the same!

  1. Small-window —> option-1 (showing small-vector overlapping some area which should not be seen or working)
  2. Fullscreen —> option-2 (showing another BIGGER-VECTOR which overlaps another bigger area.:grin:

Just an idea.
