How to Add Watermark to the Player

Introduction

Adding a watermark to videos can help prevent unauthorized use and copying of your videos. You can select the end-user's Email Address, IP Address, Phone Number, Username, Date, and custom text as the watermark. When the end-users play your video, this information will be displayed on the video player.

The watermark moves randomly around the screen. So, it is difficult to remove it or blur it. Also, you can adjust the opacity of the watermark on the player so that your end-users can enjoy the video without getting annoyed. You can change the position of the watermark as well. Make it static or dynamic by selecting the options. If you want to see how the watermark appears on the player, then you can see it in the demo player in the CMS.

How to Add a Watermark

• To enable the Watermark feature, click on the “Security” menu in the CMS.

• Under “Appearance,” select “Dynamic” if you want the watermark to move on the player screen dynamically in a certain time interval. You can select the time interval.
