Video player - Setting to hide the URL

Kagra

The URL of the video you are playing is available for everyone to know.
There is no way to hide a limited public video on youtube or a privately hosted URL if you want to show it to people in your instance, but don't want them to know the URL.
It would be nice if the option could be toggled to show/hide the URL.
(Of course, I know that it is possible to know the URL by peeking at the communication, but just hiding the URL from the screen is enough for the average folks).

How would you imagine this to be set?
I think making this an option for the world creator is enough.

I think hiding the URL would raise security concerns, lets say someone posted something malicious and you have untrusted URLs allowed, and URLs being hidden will make it so that people can't report what that player posted.

Maybe for Worlds it would be okay since it would need to be approved (if this idea ever goes through).

Luc

I also think its not a good idea to make that an option.
If you dont want to share the video url with everyone, you may wanna go to a private world.
If someone wants to know which url is being played, even hiding it in the ui will not make it a lot harder for them to get it.
