About
The Related plugin lets you add a related videos screen at the end of the video (and additionally when a video is paused) to attract users to watch additional videos. The plugin lets viewers browse and select related videos and use the Next button to play the next related video. This helps keep viewers engaged by guiding them to another relevant video, playlist, or curated list of entries, without requiring them to search or leave the player.
