The simplest thing would be to simply link to a Youtube video, perhaps with a small warning that it will take them to Youtube which uses trackers. You could even make the link an image that is the thumbnail of the video.
Not the prettiest or purest solution, but very simple.
- lloeki 2y agoI've seen youtube embeds be overlaid and say things like "this embed carries tracking, click here to load inline at your own peril or here to watch on original site" or something to that effect. Can't recall where though.
- twojacobtwo 2y agoI believe duckduckgo offers a similar warning when playing videos from search results.
- captn3m0 2y agoIt also uses YouTube-nocookie.com, which turns off targeted advertising or tracking. You are still tracked, but views aren’t linked or ads aren’t linked to your account. YouTube docs call Privacy Enhanced Mode for Embeds. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=en#zippy=%2Cturn-on-privacy-enhanced-mode https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=en#zippy...
- jeroenhd 2y agoMedium did (does?) this when you have DNT enabled. Several GDPR-compliant sites do the same, though many use their embeds as a means to track people into clicking the "accept all tracking" button.
- dwighttk 2y agoDuck duck go?
- networked 2y agoWhat I do (first of all for performance) is use YouTube links and have a script that prepends each `a.embed` link with an "embed" button. The button turns the link into an embed and back. https://dbohdan.com/assets/embed.js https://dbohdan.com/assets/embed.js
- Bluestein 2y agoNeat solution.-
- fmbb 2y agoI disagree. That is the prettiest and the purest solution!
- hk__2 2y agoThe "purest" solution would be to host the video yourself.
