Restrict Video from downloading from Front end

Hi @akshay01,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

May I know how you protect your files?

It looks like the file hasn’t been protected yet. Technically, when a file is protected by our plugin, the file URL should become something like https://yourwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/_pda/2020/10/Final-RCC-Pipes.mp4.

Please refer to this doc on how to protect media files with PDA Free.

Regarding to preventing videos from downloads, take a look at demo page (https://demo.bwps.us/streaming-videos/). You will need our Prevent Direct Access – PDA Gold and Video Protection extension to achieve that.

Please let us know if it makes sense to you.

Hello @buildwps,

thanks for replying, right now I followed the same steps provided in the
“https://preventdirectaccess.com/docs/prevent-direct-access-lite/”. I have to add Video, and documents in the front end so I added it on a post and then published that post. please refer to the images

Hello @akshay01,

Thanks for your reply.

Just to clarify:

1. Our Lite version only allows the file’s author to access protected files directly while our Gold lets you set the file access permission to specific user roles.

2. As for video protection, our PDA Gold prevents unwanted users from direct access to your protected files, allowing only admins & certain roles to view.

3. If you want to protect your videos against downloads as well, you’d need both PDA Gold and its video extension.

It’s worth noting that although there is no sure way to protect your videos against all programs and video downloaders, our method will make it harder for most average people to steal your valuable videos.

Please can refer to this comparison between the main features of our PDA Gold and its Protect WordPress Video extension for more information.

Let us know if it makes sense to you.
