Video Privacy

In this section, we explore the three options that are available for setting privacy restrictions on Streamable videos: Link only (anyone with a video's link can watch it), Password Protected (protect your video with a password), and Only Me (only the uploader can access a particular video).

  1. On your dashboard, navigate to the video you'd like to set access restrictions on.
  2. Click the More menu that should be under the video.

  3. In the drop-down menu that should open, click the Privacy button.

~Link-Only 

The Link Only (Default) button is the default setting for all of your uploaded videos. Anyone with access to an uploaded video's URL can watch the video. 

~Password Protected
  1. Click the Password Protected button to restrict your video with a password. In the Enter a password here region that should appear, type in the password of your choice.
  2. Once you're done, click Save Changes, which is at the bottom of the Privacy Settings window.

~Only Me 
  1. Click the Only Me button, and afterwards, click Save Changes, which is at the bottom of the Privacy Settings window. 


Domain Privacy for Embedded Videos 

Only allow videos to be embedded on domains you specify and prevent video links from loading on other sites

Embedding

  1. After logging in to Streamable, click My Account, which should be in the top right-hand corner of your page.

  2. In the My Account drop-down menu that should appear, click the Privacy & Security button.

  3. On the Privacy & Security page, toggle the Domain Privacy switch so that it turns blue. 

  4. In the Allowed Domains form that should open, type in the only websites that you want your videos embedded or loaded on. Make sure to separate the URL addresses with commas. 


  5. If you'd also like to prevent your video links from being shared, toggle the Disallow playback on Streamable.com switch, which should be under the Allowed domains form.


Copying & Embedding
