In the video element:

- If „Lazy Load“ is not checked, is a YouTube video buffering, despite a cover image has been defined? Does „Lazy Load“ make any difference for this case at all? 

- What does the option „Privacy Mode“ exactly do? 

Thank you :)

  Hi Serge,

  When accessing a webpage if lazy loading is enabled, the video files won't load until the user gets close to the section/block where you have added the video. Adding a cover image prevents the video files being downloaded as part of the page load; only two files get downloaded for every video. If you enable lazy loading and add a video cover, even the loading the two files will get delayed until the user scrolls down to the section which has the video. 

  YouTube and Vimeo allows users to embed its videos with privacy-enhanced mode. You can read more about it here

  Enabling the Privacy Mode will allow videos to be embedded in a more privacy friendly manner.
