Domain pinning

​

Introduction

Motto offers the ability to enhance your video protection by limiting the web domains that your video can be played from. This means that unauthorized websites will not be able to play your video content, thus preventing your content from leaking and costs increasing unnecessarily.

This feature only works on web browsers and is not supported on mobile apps that attempt to play your video content.

​

Get Started

Currently, domain pinning is available through the API; the Studio will be updated soon to support this feature.

To enable domain pinning, you need to follow these steps:

1. Create a video protection ruleset with the allowed_domains array containing the domains you wish to allow playback from. Each item should take the format of example.com, subdomain.example.com or *.example.com (for wildcard matching).
2. Attach a video to the ruleset you created in step 1. You can attach as many videos as you’d like to a single ruleset, so you do not have to create a new ruleset for each video.

The ruleset should apply within one minute of attaching the video. You can also update the ruleset at any time, and the changes will apply within roughly one minute.
