YouTube video tracking: how to disable events

Data collection and tags

I’ve installed the new YouTube tracking to compare it to the old code.
On our website we’ve disabled some events to be tracked. We only register “play” and a “75%” progress.
How can I disable Event action “watched”?

Hi. Currently it’s not possible to disable certain event types for the video tracking tag. Based on your feedback, I’ll fill in a feature request to the product team handling that.

Thanks. for the feature request, it would be nice if we would know which aspects of the play are tracked (“load”, “play”, “pause”, etc.) and which of them we can turn on or off.
For now I will stick to the custom YouTube tracker tag.
