Corporate video is one of the best ways to communicate with large, dispersed teams. It enables people to stay coordinated and well-informed about the goings-on within the company. It’s especially important for big announcements, times of change, or on-boarding new team members.
The main sticking point for using video for internal communications, and one we hear about all the time at SproutVideo, is that online video is perceived as being extremely public – that once you post a video online, anyone could search for it, watch it, or share it.
That perception needs to change. To help with that, we are going to cover the five steps you need to take to ensure only designated people can view your videos. We’ll also cover how to track viewer interactions with your videos very closely to boot.

Naturally the most appropriate answer is, “that depends,” but we can help you narrow it down for your specific circumstances, and ultimately make the best decision. Read on for our guide to allowing or disallowing downloads of your online videos, and how to do so securely.

It’s now possible to limit the number of times a video can be played when using login protected videos.
When you’re creating or editing a login, you’ll see the field above. This makes it possible, for instance, to create a one time use login. If you set the number of allowed plays to 1, you can send someone a link to the video and once they watch it, they won’t be able to pass on their login information to someone else and share the video.
