How to disable recording in video history via YouTube Player API?

Question

YouTube

Good day!

There is a video on YouTube with restricted access by link.
They are embedded on the site through the YouTube Player API The
task is to make it as difficult as possible to download videos. Through the API parameters, I removed all unnecessary information, hung up separate buttons for play, pause, mute, etc. Everything seems to be ok, but when I switched to my YouTube account, this video is shown in the viewing history))) I was already taken aback by my talents in download protection)))

Please tell me how you can show such videos "incognito" so that they not saved in user history. YouTube is very convenient for the customer, so other services were not considered. If this is not possible for YouTube, please advise a free video hosting service with such capabilities.

Thanks in advance!

Try using an alternate domain for the video player: youtube-nocookie.com

1. Protecting yourself from downloading is not realistic if you host on YouTube or any other video hosting.
For everything that is received by the browser can be downloaded.
Dig deeper, well, you hung up the buttons. What's next? After all, the browser still knocks somewhere and receives our vidos. Then what's the problem with downloading it?
With or without problems - this is secondary.
Hiding videos from your watch history will not help you.
2. You need to use ready-made video protection solutions (although again, no one guarantees that this will not be downloaded, it will just be more difficult to do). And to refuse YouTube of course.
If protection of video from downloading and draining is important. Google this question - there are enough similar services.
