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

If you’re new

1. Video access restrictions — setting up private links, passwords, and domain restrictions
2. Watermarks — adding watermarks to designate authorship

If you need maximum protection

1. DRM file encryption — technical protection against downloading and screen recording
2. Access restrictions — combining multiple protection methods

Key features

Video access restrictions

Configure who can watch your videos:

• Private links — access only via a special link
• Passwords — protect videos with a password

DRM encryption

Technical protection against downloading and screen recording. Even if an attacker downloads your content, it cannot be played without a license.

Watermarks

Add dynamic or static watermarks to designate authorship. Watermarks help identify the source of content in case of a leak.

Key use cases

Paid courses and learning

Restrict video access to paying users only. Use private links, passwords, or integration with an authorization backend.

Corporate content

Protect internal content from leaks. Use domain restrictions to make video available only on the corporate site.

Premium content

For maximum protection, use a combination of DRM encryption, watermarks, and access restrictions. This prevents copying and distributing content.
