Secure Video Hosting/ Streaming/ Encryption/ Protection

Videos can be hosted securely in the following ways:
·1 Protecting Videos by enabling a password

By putting a password, a single video or a group of videos is protected, and their accessibility is restricted by unauthorized users or hackers. Users who are authorized are allowed to access the videos, manage expiry period of the password, total no. of views permitted and others. By this, it offers a complete control.

·2 Videos accessibility restricted by Geo-Blocking

In order to restrict the accessibility of videos by everyone, geo-restrictions can be applied. Geo-Blocking plays an important role when we wish to control or want to put some limit on the no. of viewers accessing the video content. It can be set and will allow viewers from specific zones only to view or access the video. These zones can be any area, city, state, country. So, through this way, viewers from a permitted zone or category are allowed to view the content of videos on which these restrictions applied.

Configured videos are protected by enabling IP access restrictions. Control to IP access option ensures only permitted IP ranges and IP addresses to access the videos configured. Videos form is isolated by the server thereby prevent viewers, who are not authorized, to access the videos. By this, security of videos is maintained.

·5 Restrictions on access to Domain names

Another way of secure video hosting is by enabling restrictions on accessibility to domain names. By locking the embedded videos, they will be available on permitted or specific domain names. It basically helps in restricting of uploading or distribution of videos on websites on which we do not want the content to be displayed. As websites are of several types containing different information, so we do not want our videos to be uploaded to any website, and this leads to putting some restrictions on their domain names. By this videos are not going to be displayed on certain sites.
