Content Protection
In this section you will learn how to protect your video content in Kinescope. Here you will find instructions for setting up access restrictions, DRM encryption, and watermarks. These tools help prevent unauthorized use of your content.
Who this section is for
- Paid course creators — need to restrict video access to paying users only
- Corporate clients — need to protect internal content from leaks
- Educational platforms — need to restrict video access by domain or through authorization
- Premium content creators — need maximum protection against copying and distribution
Where to start
- Selling courses or gated content — start with access restrictions : private links, passwords, domains, and viewer lists
- Need to designate authorship — add watermarks , static or dynamic
- Maximum protection required — turn on DRM encryption against downloading and screen recording
What’s in this section
- Video access restrictions — private links, passwords, domain restrictions, and viewer lists
- DRM file encryption — technical protection: a downloaded file cannot be played without a licence
- Dynamic and static watermarks — designating authorship and tracing the source of a leak
Which protection to choose
Paid courses and training. Restrict access to paying users only: private links, passwords, or integration with an authorization backend.
Corporate content. Domain restrictions keep video inside the corporate site and prevent it from being embedded anywhere else.
Premium content. A combination of DRM, watermarks, and access restrictions — only together do they protect against copying.
What’s next?
After setting up content protection we recommend:
- Catalog and video management — organizing protected content, privacy settings, and view analytics
- Video player: setup and embedding — embedding protected video on your site
- Developer guides — an authorization backend for advanced access control
