There was problem with imports inside plugin. Overlay imported other videojs than I did in app.js, even if "name" is the same. Quick fix is to copy videojs-overlay.es.js to your lib and import it like: import '../lib/videojs-overlay'

You don't need to register plugin then. Hope developers could find solution without this kinda forking

if you import the plugin you don't need to call registerPlugin; the registration will happen when the module is imported. you should be able to just call player.overlay after importing.

You can copy the file as @qubis741 said, I just impoorted it like this:

import "videojs-overlay/dist/videojs-overlay.es.js";

(context: I'm using VideoJS inside of a Vue component)
