How to enable Photo-Only player access?

💻 Environment/Context

  • Player access
  • Media
  • Photo only
  • Video
  • Restrictions

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • Is it possible to configure a player's access so they can only see photos they are tagged in, and not videos?
  • Can players be restricted to photo-only Access?

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • You can restrict players to specific content (e.g., photo-only or no videos) by using Labels to manage access to the media.
  • Labels can be associated with specific account types, allowing you to control which users can access certain media. For example, you could create these two labels:
    • How to create Labels? 
      • Not for Players — configure this label so that all account types except players have access.
      • Approved for Players — configure this label so that all account types, including players, have access.
  • After you have set up your Labels on the platform, you can exclude your existing videos from being distributed to players by:
    • Go to the Media Library
    • Filter the media by Format > Video
    • Select the relevant videos in bulk and apply the Not for Players label. 
    • This will prevent players from accessing those videos.
  • Going forward, when uploading new media, you can apply either the Not for Players or Approved for Players label depending on who should have access. 
  • If you need to change the label settings for specific media later, you can also manage this directly through your media library OR when viewing assets inside a collection
