YouTube authentication for embedded videos?

I really enjoy the ability to embed a YouTube video and then take notes on that video. I, however, subscribe to YouTube Premium for Ad free viewing. In Logseq, however, I am not authenticated so I get ads in my videos while trying to take notes.

Is there a way to use my authenticated account for my embedded YouTube videos?

I am right there with you.

I agree! Requires authorization.

Totally need this as well!

totally. I have the same question for a long while.

Youtube doesnt support this feature based on user authentication. It does give the creator an option to allow to embed:

Might need to bring this up with YouTube. Logseq embeds youtube videos like any other site does, including this forum.

Is there any chance if we export YT cookies from browser and load them to logseq?

That might be possible I don’t see why it wouldn’t work if you send the request with the authentication cookie.

You can share the youtube and paste it as an “iframe” - I do that in obsidian and seems to work here too (I’ve been using them for a day, hope they keep working with no ads).
Timestamps dont work though.

This is the closest post to what I’m trying to do, so I’m posting here - I hope that’s the right thing to do to keep everything organized.

I want to embed Google MyMaps within Logseq (overview of MyMaps: My Maps – About – Google Maps). I have found the IFrame possibility - just put this directly on a Logseq page:

<iframe src="https://www.google.com/" style="width: 100%; height: 600px"></iframe>

And it’s beautiful - but doesn’t work with My Maps - probably because of authentication or cookies or something.

Is there a plugin or other workaround to make this possible?

Thanks,

Russell
