How to share a video with all staff so they can view it but not download it?

💻 Environment/Context

  • Account types & permissions
  • Tags

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • We want all staff to only open and see a video we share; new users log in with SSO and get the default account type, existing users have different account types. Is there a way to set this up automatically?
  • You want a single video, or a small set of media, visible to a group of users without download and without an external link that could be forwarded

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • Create a dedicated tag for the restricted media
    • For example “No download” or “Staff video”, and apply it to the video
  • Block the download with an account type policy
    • Add the tag to the download policy of every account type involved, so those users cannot download media carrying that tag
  • Make sure the account type can reach the media
