Secure video hosting
for sensitive, business-critical content.

The most secure way to share videos online is to combine multiple layers of protection rather than relying on a single method. SproutVideo is built around a three-pronged approach:

1. Control Access: Restrict who can watch with passwords, login protection, or SSO.
2. Protect Shared Content: Prevent downloads and limit where videos can play. For advanced protection, use dynamic (visible and invisible) watermarks to deter theft and hold every viewer accountable.
3. Monitor Viewer Behavior: Use engagement metrics to audit viewing sessions and flag unusual or suspicious activity regularly.

Together, these controls give you complete visibility and control over who can access your content, where it plays, and what viewers can do with it.

Prevent employees from sharing confidential videos by controlling access at multiple levels. SproutVideo gives you the tools to do this effectively:

Start by requiring authentication with login protection or SSO. Consider IP address or geographic restrictions to limit where viewers can access content, use download prevention to stop videos from being saved or redistributed, and layer allowed domains or signed embed codes to restrict where videos play.

For additional accountability, dynamic watermarks deter misuse with visible on-screen identity displays and trace any unauthorized copy back to the source with invisible watermarks. Finally, account audit logs and engagement metrics give you a complete record of who accessed what, when, and from where.

Yes. SproutVideo gives you two ways to require viewer authentication:

• Viewer Login Protection assigns individual credentials to specific viewers.
• Single Sign-On (SSO) integrates with your existing identity provider for seamless authentication at scale.

Both options tie every viewing session to a verified identity, giving you a complete record of who watched, when, and from where.

Geographic restrictions ensure your content only plays in the countries or regions covered by your licensing agreements. SproutVideo's geographic restrictions let you define which countries or regions can access your content, and block everywhere else by default.

This secure video feature is particularly useful for media companies, publishers, and studios distributing licensed content across multiple territories, where playing content outside an approved region could constitute a licensing violation.

SproutVideo's IP address restrictions let you limit video access to specific networks or approved IP ranges, ensuring viewers can only access content from approved offices, warehouses, campuses, or other approved locations.

This secure video feature is useful for organizations that need to ensure employees watch required training content on-site, or for organizations that want to prevent internal content from being accessed on personal devices or from outside networks.

Deterring screen recording starts with making every viewer accountable. SproutVideo's dynamic watermarks display the viewer's personal information directly on screen, including their email address, IP address, and session ID. The watermark moves around the screen intermittently, making it difficult to remove. If the viewer is not deterred, invisible watermarks allow you to trace any unauthorized copy back to the source.

SproutVideo tracks every viewing session, making it easy for organizations to maintain a complete audit trail of video access and viewer activity.

Individual viewer tracking ties every viewing session to a specific authenticated viewer. Engagement metrics provide detailed session data, including heat maps to visualize viewing patterns. Exportable reports allow you to download CSVs of video data. Account audit logs record all account-level actions across every team member.
