In short,
-
- PDA Gold does protect your video URL against custom user roles but it doesn’t allow anyone to view your videos online
- Our videos protection plugin integrates with PDA Gold and extends its features by:
- providing a cool HTML5 video player
- allowing anyone to view your videos online (but cannot download them)
- protecting your videos against video downloader such as IDM and FBDown
In order to protect your videos, they have to be put inside WordPress Media library. In case your videos are too big to be uploaded by WordPress, you can upload them directly to your website server (just like what you’ve done) and use this Add from server plugin to add them to WordPress.
Once done, install our Protect Videos extension then protect and embed these videos into your content.
