Turn on video protection in Kinescope, step by step. Takes about five minutes.
Kinescope is a video platform for course creators, EdTech, and businesses. You upload your videos once, and Kinescope stores them, protects them from piracy, and plays them fast anywhere you embed them, with your own branding and no ads.
Think of it as a private, secure home for your course videos. An alternative to YouTube or Vimeo for when you need real control and protection.
Visit kinescope.com →One screen recording, and your paid course can end up for sale somewhere else. Most video players do nothing to stop it.
Here is how to lock your course videos down with DRM in a few minutes.
Go to kinescope.com and sign in. If you are new, create a free account first.
A project keeps your course videos together. Protection is turned on per project, so this keeps things simple.
Drag your video files into the project and wait for processing to finish.
Go to the settings of the project you just created.
One click. Kinescope uses Google Widevine and Apple FairPlay, the same DRM that Netflix and Apple rely on. Every video in the project is encrypted automatically, including new uploads. A full library usually finishes within 24 hours.
Copy the embed code and paste it into your website or any LMS that supports embedding, like Moodle, Teachable, Thinkific or Open edX. The video stays protected everywhere it plays.
DRM encryption is part of the Super plan, from €10 per month. Turn on domain restrictions too, so the video only plays on your own domains.
DRM raises the bar a lot. Here is what it stops:
DRM is strong, but it is not 100 percent. On some older devices or software based Windows browsers, screen recording can still get through. No platform blocks every single case, so treat DRM as a high wall, not a magic shield.
Protection works best in layers. Two extra options inside Kinescope:
Shows each viewer's own data over the video. If someone leaks it, you can see exactly who did.
Limit playback by password, domain, country, or IP address.
Set it up on Kinescope and stop worrying about leaks.
