Can the “Save video as” and “Copy video URL” options be disabled when I right-click on an HTML video?

No. You cannot disable individual right-click options.

However, you can disable the entire right-click on a specific piece of content by using oncontextmenu=”return false;”

If our video is embedded in the code like this:

<video width=”1920″ height=”1080″ id=”idVideo”>
<source src=”video-cimatti.mp4″ type=”video/mp4″>
  </video>

The javascript/jQuery function that disables the right button will be the following:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
  jQuery(‘#idVideo’).bind(‘contextmenu’,function() { return false; });
});

How do we disable the right button of a video inside a fancybox?

To disable a video inside a fancybox, we can bind the #fancybox-wrap ID

jQuery(‘#fancybox-wrap’).bind(‘contextmenu’, function() { return false; });

This will block the right button on all fancyboxes and not just those containing a video.
