SolutionsSecurityPrivate video
Video foryour people only.
Lock a video with a password or a private link, hide it inside a playlist and allow embedding only on your own sites. Set it for the account, a project or a single video.
Four policies and a domain list.
Password
Viewers enter a password on the page. The owner can see the password in the console and change it.
Private link
The link has 32 random characters. Generate a new one and the old link stops working.
Playlist only
The video has no page or embed of its own: it can only be watched inside a playlist, and the playlist controls access.
Domain-restricted embed
Everywhere, nowhere or on specified domains — up to 50, including *.example.com.
Inheritance
Account → project → video. Change a project’s access and the console shows how many videos it affects.
Air has its own access
Channels and broadcasts have their own policy: show a private video on public air, or the other way round.
Private means private everywhere.
The access policy isn’t only about the page: direct HLS links to a private video won’t open without a signature, and the console warns you if a public playlist shows the video.
- For a private video, direct HLS links work only when signed with your key.
- A playlist in “Playlist access” mode overrides the video’s access — the console shows which playlists contain the video and which of them are public.
- Starter has no direct links at all: the video is delivered only through the dodocast player.
Three steps in the console.
Choose a policy
The Access tab of a video, playlist, channel or broadcast — or of a project, for all its videos.
Restrict embedding
“Where can the player be shown?” — everywhere, nowhere or on your domains.
Share
The password — with the people allowed in, or the whole private link.
Your channel is one upload away.
