The video task manager plugin allows you to embed YouTube videos in your app and pair them with a checklist of tasks tied to video timestamps. Users can jump to specific points, mark tasks as complete, set reminders, and see a custom completion message with optional redirect actions.

Pro tips
Upload your videos to your own YouTube channel as Public or Unlisted to ensure they work in the plugin (avoid “Private”).
Use clear task descriptions so users understand exactly what to do.
Redirect users to related plugins (like a quiz or checklist) after task completion to create learning paths.
If you notice video metadata (like titles or descriptions) not loading correctly on devices, make sure your Google API Key with YouTube Data API v3 is configured.
