"The ability to restrict access by domain and implement time-limited viewing has been crucial for our client preview system. These security features weren't available with our previous Vimeo setup."

Video Security FAQ

Common questions about our protection features compared to Vimeo

What DRM options do you offer compared to Vimeo?

Unlike Vimeo's limited DRM options, we provide comprehensive multi-DRM support including Widevine (for Chrome, Firefox, Android), PlayReady (for Edge, Xbox), and FairPlay (for Safari, iOS, Apple TV). This ensures your content is protected across all major platforms and devices with enterprise-grade encryption that meets Hollywood studio standards.

How does dynamic watermarking work?

Our dynamic watermarking technology, not available on Vimeo, embeds viewer-specific information directly into the video stream. This can include the viewer's email, IP address, or session ID, making each video viewing session uniquely identifiable. If content is leaked or screen-recorded, you can trace it back to the specific user who violated your terms.

Can I restrict access based on geographic location?

Yes, our geographic restrictions are more advanced than Vimeo's basic controls. You can allow or block access at the country, region, or even city level. This is particularly valuable for content with licensing restrictions in certain territories or for businesses targeting specific geographic markets.

How do you prevent screen recording of my videos?

Unlike Vimeo, which offers no screen recording protection, we provide advanced screen capture detection technology. Our player can detect when screen recording software is active and either blur the content, display a warning message, or stop playback entirely. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized content capture and distribution.

What access control methods do you support?

We offer more comprehensive access controls than Vimeo, including: domain whitelisting/blacklisting with wildcard support, IP-based restrictions for corporate environments, time-limited signed URLs for temporary access, multi-level password protection, and integration with SSO and authentication systems. These can be combined for layered security appropriate to your content value.
