Video Access: Password Protection & Restriction

Video Access: Password Protection & Restriction

Video streaming privacy and controlling video access can be a challenge at times, and the reasons for wanting to limit access can be varied. Sometimes there can be legal incentives, such as acquiring distribution rights for a concert in only selected areas. Other times it can just be to funnel the benefit of doing that video content to a source controlled by the content owner. For example, making sure beneficial traffic to a website ends up at a page controlled by the user.

This article covers the wealth of features available at IBM Watson Media that can facilitate this need to restrict access to streaming content. This includes methods to password protect video assets along with more sophisticated approaches such as restrictions based on demographics like location or age.

This piece is focused on protecting external facing video content. If the need is to instead protect video access for content that has to be internal facing only, IBM Enterprise Video Streaming offers more granular control to keep video content inside an organization.
