Privacy Settings Overview

SproutVideo offers several different privacy options for videos and live streams hosted on our platform.

Private Videos and Live Streams

By default, all videos uploaded and live streams created on our platform will be private. A private video or live stream is only accessible and playable by viewers when it is embedded on another website. Private videos and live streams are not accessible through SproutVideo landing pages or video websites.

Public Videos and Live Streams

Public videos and live streams are accessible on SproutVideo landing pages and video websites, as well as any webpage where they are embedded.

Password Protection

Password Protection allows you to require the viewer to enter a password before they can access a video. The password will always be required on SproutVideo landing pages or websites, and you have the option to require the password for embedded videos and live streams as well.

Password-protected videos, and live streams will be accessible through SproutVideo landing pages, and video websites, as well as anywhere they are embedded.

Login Protection

Login Protection allows you to create each viewer a unique username and password they must enter before they can view your video. The poster frame will not load, and the video or live stream will not be playable until after a viewer enters their credentials.

Login protected videos, and live streams are accessible through SproutVideo landing pages, and video websites, as well as anywhere they are embedded.
