Video security is paramount for any modern enterprise, especially for live company town halls, employee training, and many other types of internal content and broadcasts. This content should only be viewed by employees and trusted partners, yet ensuring the player and the streams are secure can be a difficult task. With other player providers, it is often the responsibility of the CMS or web application to ensure the user is authenticated at the page level.
In this scenario, the video content is only secure as long as the player is embedded on a private page. Without additional restrictions, anyone with access to that page could easily copy the player embed code and paste it onto any other webpage, making it accessible to anyone.
Now, with uStudio’s Video Player SSO (Single Sign-On) feature, the player itself can be configured to require authentication. Even if the player or the embed code is shared on a public page, users must still login using the company’s identity provider in order to view the video content. Whether your company uses SAML, OAuth, OpenID, or another industry-standard SSO technology (including providers such as Okta, Google, Salesforce, and others), uStudio can provide you with players that meet IT’s security requirements while making it even easier to embed players inside any application or site.
Video publishers can also restrict access to a specific set of users. For instance, if a video should only be seen by the executive team, the group information can be shared via the SSO integration to provide an additional layer of access control. Additionally, viewing behavior and access can be tracked and measured through uStudio’s rich video analytics, including sending named-user information to the tracking application of your choice (including many CRM, MAP, and BI tools).
Video Player SSO joins uStudio’s broad range of security features, including:
These measures all provide methods of restricting access, however, when you need to be certain that your video player can only be accessed by a select set of users and track exactly which users watched which video content, the ability to add SSO at the player level is critical.
uStudio is the only video platform provider with a multi-tier security model that offers security configuration at the stream, player, and page level. The addition of Video Player SSO to uStudio’s industry-leading security model gives our customers the most granular level of security and control over their video assets in the market.
