Introduction

In Muvi Flex, you can add a watermark to your videos and stop your videos from unauthorized use and copying. You can add the IP Address, and/or Date of the end users as a watermark. When your end-users play your videos, this information (IP address and/or Date) will be displayed on the video player. If anyone tries to screen capture your videos, then the watermark will be captured automatically. It is difficult for any end-user to remove the watermark as it is not fixed at one part of the screen but moves all over the screen.

How to Add Watermark

• To add a watermark to your videos, navigate to “Player” --"Player Settings" in the Muvi Flex CMS.
• Select the check box “Add Watermark on The Player”.
• There are 2 options available to add as your watermark i.e. end-user “IP Address” and “Date”. If you wish you can add both options or one of them.
• Scroll down and click on "Save".

Once the watermark is added, it will be automatically displayed on the player when the end-users will play your videos.

Adding Custom Watermark to Videos

In Muvi Flex, by default, you can only add the IP Address of the end user and/or the current date as a watermark. However, you can also add custom watermarks to your videos. You can add an email address, your brand name, or any text as a watermark. You will need to add the custom watermark in the embedded code of the videos. For each video, you can also add different watermarks.

Step 1 – Enable the “Watermark” feature.

• First, you need to enable the watermark option in Muvi Flex. Navigate to “Player” --"Player Settings" in the Muvi Flex CMS.
• Select the check box “Add Watermark on The Player”.
• There are 2 options available to add as your watermark i.e., end-user “IP Address” and “Date”. If you wish you can add both options and one of them.
• Scroll down and click on "Save".

Step 2 - Getting the Embed Code of Video from the Content Library

• Navigate to “Manage Content” -->” Content Library” in Muvi Flex.
• On the right-hand side of a video, click on the “Embed” action to get the URL.
• Click on “Copy” to copy the URL and then paste it on a notepad (Windows) or text editor.

Step 3 – Adding a Custom Watermark

• Add your own watermark as a parameter at the end of the URL (SRC) in the embed code "?watermark[text]=<insert-email-id-here>" (without quotes and angle brackets).
• Save the changes in the notepad.
• For each video, you can add the watermark separately.

Step 4 – View the Watermark on the Player

Share the modified Embed Code with a custom watermark on your website/app and you can view it on the player while playing a video.
