 * In the General settings of this fantastic plugin, there is a setting under Videos
   for
 * Include Video Preview Images
 * Can this functionality get a toggle or radio button to EXCLUDE non native media,
   that is, media which is not hosted on the SAME domain of the URL of the page/
   post being SEOed? Bc its a real pain to share a post on say X and see a YouTube
   video by a third party instead of your own Featured Image and have to correct
   it every time or lose the functionality of turning off non native media inclusions
   in the General Settings.

   video details from video hosting services (Facebook, YouTube, Wistia, Vimeo, 
   etc.) is provided by the Premium video modules in the WPSSO Core Premium edition,
   so this reply will not be useful to readers of this forum (a forum dedicated 
   to supporting the WPSSO Core Standard edition). If you have further questions
   about Premium features, you can open a Premium support ticket at [https://surniaulula.com/support/](https://surniaulula.com/support/).
 * To include/exclude/modify video image preview URLs, you can hook the ‘wpsso_og_video_image_url’
   filter and return false, an empty string, or an image URL (the default one or
   a different one). See [https://wpsso.com/docs/plugins/wpsso/notes/developer/filters/](https://wpsso.com/docs/plugins/wpsso/notes/developer/filters/)
   for a complete list of available filters.
