Questions about JuZ Simple Video Preview

Which video services are supported?

YouTube (shorts included), Vimeo, Dailymotion and Wistia: paste the URL of the video in the block.

Does it set cookies?

No. The page only shows a thumbnail and a play button: the video opens on its host, in a new tab. No third-party player is loaded on your page, so the host sets no cookie there.

Why a preview rather than an embedded player?

A page with an embedded player loads the host’s scripts for every visitor, even those who never press play. A preview keeps the page light: less data, less energy, and no tracking.

Is it translated?

Yes, into French, and it can be translated into any language on translate.wordpress.org.
