Why is there no download button on YouTube?
YouTube’s terms forbid downloads, so the plugin hides it by design.

Does it support audio?
Yes. Switch an item to “Audio” for full player features.

Is analytics required?
No. It’s disabled by default and fully optional.

Will it slow down my site?
No. It’s lightweight with click-to-load and lazy-load built in.

Can I customize the look?
Yes—use presets or the full Skin Editor.

How are downloads secured?
Self-hosted files use signed expiring links with optional rate limits and capability checks.

Can I export data?
Yes, export analytics and download logs as CSV.
