<h3>External services</h3>
<p>Presto Player can connect to the third-party services below. Each connection, the data that is sent, and when it happens are described here.</p>
<p><strong>YouTube and Vimeo (only when you embed their videos):</strong> Embedding a YouTube or Vimeo video loads that video from the service in the visitor’s browser, which sends the visitor’s IP address and playback interactions to that service. This only happens for videos you choose to embed.</p>

<li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/t/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a> and <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a></li>

</ul>
<p><strong>Usage tracking (opt-in, disabled by default):</strong> If you explicitly opt in, the plugin periodically sends non-sensitive environment data — such as PHP and WordPress versions, active plugins and theme, site locale, and which plugin features are used — to Brainstorm Force to help improve the product. It is off until you give consent, and you can opt out at any time.</p>

Presto Player


We had been searching for an easy to use plugin that can help us display videos on our website without impacting page speed. Presto Player was so intuitive and easy to use. I had our explainer video up and running in 30 mins.


So easy to use!


I purchased the pro version of this plugin in hopes they would treat me as a professional. I installed this on a client's site, and now there is a giant dashboard notice on every page asking for a review. My clients don't even know what Presto Player is. They shouldn't be bombarded with review requests for plugins they've never heard of when they log into their website.


Adds large notification to every page of the WordPress dashboard


If you do anything with videos on WordPress, this is an essential plugin. I was using Wistia but now I'm in the process of transferring everything over to PrestoPlayer hosting video files on Bunny.net.


Essential WordPress Plugin


We have tried other video players for Wordpress but this one stands out! Both when it comes to customizing the player, performance, and not least the amazing stats!! As soon as a logged in user has viewed a video, we can see it in clear text in the Analytics. Very impressive. Can really recommend this video player. 


Awesome player!


Спасибо за хороший продукт


Отличный плагин


I am using the Pro version on two sites now. There is so much flexibility yet the options are simple and straightforward to impliment.
