var cincopa = cincopa || {};
cincopa.registeredFunctions = cincopa.registeredFunctions || [];
cincopa.registeredFunctions.push({
	func: function (name, data, gallery) {
    gallery.args.share = true; // Enable the share button
    gallery.args.share_url = "https://www.cincopa.com/video-hosting"; // URL to share
    gallery.args.embed_code = true; // Allow embed URL in the share menu
    gallery.args.embed_url = "https://www.cincopa.com/video-hosting"; // Embed URL
  }, filter: "runtime.on-args"
});
</script>
