    Hi
    I am using Vimeo Pro On my Online Course Website but still people able to download my videos via ( Download Video Software) even with Vimeo Protection, So If i used Presto Player is going to prevent them from downloading my videos?
    If yes Do I still need to use Vimeo Pro or Presto Pro Will be enough with Vimeo Free Version?
    Thanks

    Hi Orabi,

    We have some security features on the Pro version of our plugin. If you’re looking for in-depth explanations, you can find that here:

    https://prestoplayer.com/docs/video-security-features-explained

    We are also adding HLS, which streams videos in chunks, which adds another layer to make it harder for users to download.

    However, keep in mind, no video is 100% private as there are browser extensions, etc. that people can use to download even secure video content (even from places like netflix, etc). And someone can also easily just record their screen.

    Thanks, Andre
    is the HLS encryption will be as the one used with Amazon S3, anyone downloads the video but it’s locked and can’t pay it?

    I’m not sure I understand your question exactly, so please tell me if I’m answering it wrong. s

    S3 is a storage service, so it doesn’t have any security features built-in. Our two providers for private video are self-hosted and bunny.net (though s3 is on our roadmap).

    We plan on combining HLS encryption with token auth with Bunny.net and the two together will make it difficult for users to download your video.

    However, keep in mind, nothing is perfect. Even Netflix has issues with people downloading videos. But what we can do is make it as difficult as we can by layering different security features in the video. You can have all the security in the world, but someone can still use a screen recorder to record the video.

    Hi Andre
    Please refer to this site to understand what I mean, I tried to download videos from their site and they have a video that shows someone downloads a video and it was Encrypted after downloading.

    I am talking about this kind of protection but this site works with S3, so I am searching for a plugin working with Vimeo or Youtube like Presto Player.
    thanks

    Ah, so you want encrypted streams from Vimeo and Youtube? I don’t think this is possible. Youtube/Vimeo are in charge of transcoding and encrypting video streams, so we don’t have any control over this.

    Ok Thanks a Lot Andre
