What you get

How VideoCrypt protects your content

Multi-DRM protection

Every stream is encrypted across all major DRM systems, so content plays only on authorized, licensed devices.

Forensic watermarking

An invisible per-session mark ties any leaked copy back to the exact viewer — a deterrent and the evidence to act on.

Token & geo access

Signed tokens, geo rules and device/domain binding decide precisely who can play and block unauthorized embeds.

Anti-piracy

Screen-capture defenses and continuous monitoring make recording harder and leaks easier to shut down.

Every device

One workflow protects browsers, iOS, Android, smart TVs and set-top boxes with the right DRM each.

Real-time analytics

See plays, concurrency and piracy signals live, so you can prove reach and respond fast.
