Prevent Video Downloads on WordPress Sites
Disable Video Download is a free WordPress plugin designed to enhance video security on your website. By effectively disabling the 'Save video as...' option in embedded HTML5 video players, it utilizes JavaScript to modify the contextual menu that appears on right-clicking videos. Additionally, it incorporates the 'controlsList' attribute set to 'nodownload', ensuring that users cannot download videos directly from the player interface. This feature is particularly useful for content creators looking to protect their multimedia assets from unauthorized downloads.
Installation of the plugin is straightforward; users can download the zip file from the official WordPress repository, unzip it, and upload it to the wp-content/plugins directory of their WordPress site. Once uploaded, activation is done via the plugins section in WordPress. However, it is important to note that the plugin only works with videos embedded using HTML5 and is not compatible with external sources like YouTube or Vimeo.
