Video Time
The Video Time product family is a set of plugins to integrate videos from Vimeo and Youtube into moodle. In addition, teachers can add videos directly in the activity as files or use a link to the video file. The base activity is free to use and makes embedding videos into moodle super easy. The pro add-on provides a lot of features like tracking, resume, in-activity, app support, privacy support, next activity and many more. Premium (formerly: Business) connects moodle to Vimeo, allowing the teacher to simply choose the video from within moodle.
Easy and flexible
Video Time 1.7 supports videos hosted on Youtube and Vimeo. Teachers can also upload a video or audio file directly into the Video Time activity.

More informationScreenshots
Video time does not have any custom settings or features when it comes to visibility. And there’s no difference between free and pro there. The reason why it does not show the option “visible” must be something else, independent of video time.
Maybe it’s in a hidden section? If you don’t use boost and the topics format, I suggest testing with these to see if something custom in your site causes the issue. If you need additional help, please use the tracker on GitHub and create an issue there. Support here does not really work well…

I am using Moodle 3.11, when playing a video the image does not show, only audio, I used mp4 video the video area is black.
Also when right mouse clicking on the video, it shows download audio and there is nothing about video.
What could be the problem?
On the other hand, would it be possible to control the right mouse click menu to prevent downloading the video?
Thanks,
my best guess (without having access to the mp4) is that the mp4 file you used uses a codec that is not supported by your browser. Or maybe the file is simply corrupt.
Even if the file plays back fine on your computer, that does not mean that the file is ok. Your computer/the application might simply be clever enough to play it back even if it's (partially) broken.
With regards to the right mouse click menu:
Sure, that is theoretically possible. But you should be aware though that it is not possible to really prevent that a video (file) is downloaded. You can make it a little harder though. Get in touch privately if you are interested to fund such a feature.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer.
What first I tried is to play the video in the browser to know the if it has an issue with the browser, it played well without any issues.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
that's interesting. We use Video JS to playback videos. That's the same player that Moodle itself uses. It might be worth trying if Moodle itself can play it back using the built in player.
Except for that, you can check your browser's console and check fi there are any errors. If you are able to share the video (and if it is not large), feel free to create a test course on one of our demo sites and send me the link — then I can have a look.

The default player in Moodle is working fine with any issues.

I hope you doing well. Is there any progress about YouTube integration?
sure, youtube support was added in Video Time 1.7 — along with support for audio files, video files and externally hosted files (including e.g. dash links).

The content is still shown in the edit settings but just not rendered.
The moodle versions we are using on one site are:
Moodle 3.11.12+ (Build: 20230303)
VideoTime version: 1.7, 2023011202
We have a couple of other sites with different moodle versions that are now behaving the same way.
