Video protection on streams through IP address binding

. Such a static URL is convenient when wanting to
distribute your stream to a large audience easily, but it also has clear downsides. What if your content is only meant for a
specific group of end-users, e.g. ones that have paid for access? While we offer a feature for entitlement checking,
you may also want to disallow end-users to share the stream URLs with others, beyond the confines of your platform (i.e. hotlinking).
To prevent abuse, the hotlink prevention feature generates a unique stream URL for each individual end-user based on their IP
address. When they share this with others on a different network, the stream will simply not play.
