Many video hosting providers offer fundamental security measures but lack features to protect sensitive or confidential content. Password protection is an essential starting point, but when hosting on public video-sharing platforms, your content may be visible to anyone, even if they can't directly access it without the password.
To ensure you're sharing videos privately, in addition to password protection, consider activating other security features like domain, IP address, and geo-location restrictions (aka domain, IP address, and geo-location whitelisting); viewer login permissions; dynamic video watermarks; signed embed codes; single-sign-on for viewers, and two-factor authentication. Also, use account activity audit logs to track or control who views the content after sharing a password.
Publicly hosting your video means you abide by the video hosting platform's terms of service and privacy policies, which may affect the confidentiality or security of your sensitive content. We encourage you to review these terms to ensure they comply with your security requirements.
