Embed codes can be secured to limit hot-linking, and give fine grained permissions to share to Administrators.

Two protection are available :

• Ensuring that the site that embed a video has the proper right to do it, by checking a token before delivering the asset : Asset protection through Tokenisation

• Limiting the domains that are authorize to host a video : Asset protection through Domain control

Both protections can be used simultaneously.

We recommend using tokenization when possible, but tokenizing a video suppose you have control over the code of the web application that is hosting the video.

If you need a more immediate and straightforward solution, authorizing hosts is the way to go.
