Today, we\u2019re launching <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/help\/articles\/29-login_protected_videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">login protected videos<\/a>. Find out how to assign video access to specific people, and how to regulate their video access at a very granular level, in this post.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>All About Viewer Logins<\/h3>\n<p>You can now assign multiple viewer logins to videos, giving you\u00a0very granular control over\u00a0video access permissions. Also, you can create as many logins as you&#8217;d like, and grant video access to as many videos as you&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n<p>The settings are simple and straightforward:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-440\" src=\"https:\/\/d9pfvpeevxz0y.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/2016-10-14_17-46-48.png\" alt=\"Login Protection Settings for Videos Hosted on SproutVideo\" width=\"440\" height=\"334\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Detailed Viewer Login Settings<\/h4>\n<p>For each login, you can specify:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Email Address<\/li>\n<li>Password<\/li>\n<li>Time access begins<\/li>\n<li>Time access ends<\/li>\n<li>Which versions (SD, HD, Original Copy) of the video are downloadable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Except for email and password, which are required, all of the login settings\u00a0are optional and disabled by default. This gives you total\u00a0control over how and when people can interact with your videos.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, you could give one person view-only access to your videos for 3 days, give another\u00a0user permission\u00a0to download the HD version of your video, and allow\u00a0yet another user to download the original copy of the video. Or, any combination you can come up with.<\/p>\n<h3>How it Works<\/h3>\n<p>Now, when a visitor reaches one of your login protected videos, either on\u00a0a\u00a0SproutVideo\u00a0landing page\u00a0or embedded on a website, they\u2019ll be presented with a login form. They will only be able to watch\u00a0the video if they enter a valid email address and password.<\/p>\n<h3>Tracking Login Activity<\/h3>\n<p>We also wanted to give our users some insight into how and when their videos are being watched on an individual user level. When you\u2019ve enabled login protection for your videos, we track the following information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>User &#8211; who watched your video<\/li>\n<li>Time of action &#8211; when the activity occurred<\/li>\n<li>Action Taken (Login, Load, Play) &#8211; how the viewer interacted with your video<\/li>\n<li>Website where the action occurred<\/li>\n<li>IP Address of the user who performed the action<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This can be very helpful if, for instance, you had a training video that you wanted to make sure was watched by your whole team. Or, any instance where\u00a0you need a\u00a0traceable report of activity with your videos.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you enjoy this new feature! It represents a big improvement in the privacy options available to you within your SproutVideo account. As always, we look forward to <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutvideo.com\/contact\">your feedback<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\"><\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\">2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">MIN TO READ<\/span><\/span> If you\u2019ve ever wanted to specify the exact people that are allowed to view your video, you\u2019re in luck.
