Your Content is Your Business
Whether you’re selling premium courses, streaming exclusive events, or sharing members-only content, protecting your videos is essential. Unauthorized access, piracy, and content theft can undermine your revenue and devalue your work.
Bamboo Cloud provides multiple layers of security to keep your content protected while ensuring legitimate viewers have seamless access.
Access Control Options
Public Content
Free content that anyone can watch—great for:
- Marketing and promotional videos
- Trailers and previews
- Free samples to attract subscribers
- SEO-driven content
Registered Users Only
Require viewers to create a free account to watch. This allows you to:
- Build your email list
- Track viewer behavior
- Enable personalized recommendations
- Create a pathway to paid subscriptions
Subscription Gated
Restrict content to active subscribers:
- Monthly or annual subscription tiers
- Different content libraries for different tiers
- Automatic access management based on payment status
Pay-Per-View
One-time purchases for individual videos or events:
- Live event tickets
- Premium individual content
- Rental periods with expiration
Private/Unlisted
Content only accessible via direct link:
- Client deliverables
- Internal training videos
- Family-shared milestone moments
Technical Security Features
Encrypted Streaming
All video delivery uses HTTPS encryption, ensuring content cannot be intercepted during transmission.
Signed URLs
Video URLs expire after a set time, preventing link sharing:
- Links cannot be bookmarked and reused
- Shared links stop working after expiration
- Each viewing session generates unique access tokens
Domain Restrictions
Limit where your embedded videos can play:
- Only your approved domains can embed your content
- Prevents iframe theft on unauthorized sites
- Protects against scraping and redistribution
Geographic Restrictions
Control where your content is available:
- Comply with licensing agreements by region
- Block access from specific countries
- Target content to specific markets
Device Limits
Prevent password sharing by limiting concurrent streams:
- Set maximum simultaneous devices per account
- Limit total registered devices
- Automatic session management
Content Protection Best Practices
Watermarking
Visible or invisible watermarks help track piracy sources:
- User-specific watermarks identify the source of leaks
- Brand watermarks maintain attribution even if copied
Download Controls
Decide whether viewers can download content:
- Streaming only—no downloads
- Offline viewing with DRM protection
- Downloadable for purchased content
Screen Recording Deterrents
While no system is 100% piracy-proof, multiple layers make recording difficult and traceable.
User Management
Role-Based Access
Control what your team can do:
- Admins – Full platform access
- Content managers – Upload and organize content like admin
- Contributor – upload and manage their own content
- Viewer – register, pay and watch videos
Audit Logs
Track all platform activity:
- Who made changes and when
- Content uploads and deletions
- User access attempts
- Security events
