Video Comments lets commenters attach a video to their comment. The browser sends the file to Mux, so it never touches your server, and a Mux player appears below the comment text once Mux finishes processing. You need a Mux account.
Features
- Video-only comments. The submit button stays disabled until the video is ready. After that the text box is optional, so a comment can be the video alone. A filter lets you require text again.
- Upload size limit. Set a maximum file size in MB. The plugin checks it in the browser and again when it hands out the upload URL, and it rate limits upload URL requests per IP.
- Guest uploads. Off by default. Turn them on to let logged-out visitors attach videos.
- Follows moderation. A comment held for moderation keeps its video hidden too. You moderate the video along with the comment, with no separate queue.
- Clean-up. Deleting a comment deletes its Mux asset in the background, and a daily sweep removes uploads that never became comments. Uninstalling removes the plugin’s settings and meta and leaves the videos in your Mux account.
- Privacy tools. The plugin adds suggested Privacy Policy text, includes videos in personal data exports, and deletes a commenter’s videos when you erase their data.
- Filters. Replace or disable the player script, change player attributes, or pass the real visitor address from behind a proxy or CDN.
