Privacy-First Video Embedding Made Easy
In an increasingly privacy-conscious digital world, ensuring compliance with regulations like the GDPR is not just a nice-to-have — it's a necessity. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our latest Moodle plugin: Consent Manager. This powerful new tool helps Moodle site administrators and course creators embed external content in a way that respects user privacy — without compromising usability or design.
Consent Manager is also the perfect companion to our popular Video Time plugin. Together, they bring video-based learning to a new level of legal compliance and user trust.
Why Consent Manager?
Many Moodle sites use external video platforms such as YouTube or Vimeo to enrich the learning experience. However, embedding content from these providers often transmits personal data — sometimes even before a user has pressed “play.” With Consent Manager, you now have a seamless solution to:
- Block external video content until user consent is given
- Display a customizable placeholder with consent request
- Manage and revoke consent easily through global and user-specific settings
- Stay compliant with GDPR and other privacy regulations
How It Works
Consent Manager is implemented as a Moodle filter plugin. It works transparently in the background: whenever a page loads, the plugin checks for embedded external content and replaces it with a consent placeholder — unless the user has already granted permission.
- Blacklist and whitelist modes
- Custom privacy messages and policies per domain
- User-specific consent tracking and revocation
- Fully compatible with Moodle 4.5+
Fully compatible with Video Time
When you embed a YouTube or Vimeo video using Video Time, the Consent Manager filter ensures the video is not loaded until the user explicitly agrees. This ensures:
- No pre-loading or tracking from third-party services
- Full control over which videos require consent
- A consistent and branded placeholder experience across your platform
