<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin uses the YouTube Data API v3 (Google) to retrieve videos from the configured YouTube playlist so it can select and display a random video.
What data is sent and when: 
* The configured playlist ID (or playlist ID parsed from a provided playlist URL) is sent when the plugin requests playlist items. 
* The configured YouTube API key is sent with those API requests for authentication. 
* These requests occur when cached playlist data is missing or expired, or when playlist data must be refreshed.
