=======

[](#youtube)

YouTube is a contao module to provide responsive youtube videos with preview images and better privacy control. It provides support for content elements and news items.

Technical instruction
---------------------

[](#technical-instruction)

Youtube videos can be added to news templates with ease. Just add the following code (for example: news\_full.html5):

```

```

To use preview images from youtube, you have to generate an API key () and place it in the contao settings.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Responsive youtube videos (requires jQuery)
- Preview image for youtube videos
    - If no custom image is given, the preview image will be loaded from youtube and saved under 'files/media/youtube/'
- Privacy mode (requires jQuery)
    - In privacy mode the video is displayed, after the user accepted a privacy advice within a modal prompt (requires bootstrap 3 modal window support)
    - The user can mark his selection as permanent with a checkbox (state will be saved in a cookie)
