Allow YouTube Embeds #135

Open Ardnived opened 2 years ago

Ardnived commented 2 years ago

The problem with YouTube embeds is GDPR compliance. Of course we are already non-compliant at the moment, and that needs to be addressed (as per issue https://github.com/sydevs/WeMeditate/issues/102).

Even youtube's so called "nocookies" mode actually just disguises their use of cookies. But basically we cannot embed YouTube videos without consent. We can either use a cover image which prompts the user to accept cookies below loading the video, or else avoid YouTube embeds entirely. Details here: https://axbom.com/embed-youtube-videos-without-cookies/

There is a PR with work in progress: https://github.com/sydevs/WeMeditate/pull/134

Let's encourage people to upload the video to Vimeo / JWPlayer instead. Using YouTube has GDPR implications.
