Block external content

External content such as iframes, videos, embedded images, and other third-party objects is blocked until the user has accepted the related data policy. This guarantees that no unintended communication with external servers takes place.

Consent is required to unlock the content, no matter where it is embedded. Here, it’s a standard video (not managed by Video Time) placed within a text element.

Here, a Video Time activity embedded via the text editor is blocked.

Here, a Video Time activity in label mode is blocked.

Even Video Time elements within the Content Designer are blocked.
