Does the youtube api download function have a view counter?

I know that embedding videos with autostart will NOT increase the number of videos.

My question is: play javascript video using apt youtube, does it cause an increase in the number of videos?

Not. Playbacks starting with the javascript API are not counted and no other views initiated by the software are executed (automatic playback, iframing on the page, playlist player, api, etc.).

If you automatically start a video, it will not be counted, but you can count on it until you start auto play and allow the user to interact with the "Play" button.

- Playback controls and player settings: player.playVideo (): Void is currently playing the video. Note. Playback is only considered for watching videos if it is initiated using the built-in play button in the player.
