| HLS link | a stream for your own player or app | your own player, mobile app, Smart TV | Pro, Business |
| Player SDK | the same, from code: links, embed, channel data | your site or service builds the player itself | all (HLS — Pro, Business) |

What all options share
- Access is set on the video, playlist, broadcast or channel and applies everywhere: on the watch page, in the embedded player and in direct links.
- Publication turns off the watch page and embedding at once — they return 404. Direct stream links are closed by the access policy, not by publishing.
- The player is the same everywhere: adaptive quality, subtitles and audio tracks in different languages, chapters, frame previews when seeking.
