How to Enable DRM in Portal

VIDIZMO provides its customers different layers of security measures at every step along the way – during steps of content ingestion, delivery, playback, storage and much more. These security requirements can either be fulfilled by the safety measures provided by VIDIZMO or if customers wish to integrate any third-party Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies with their enterprise video portal, then VIDIZMO also offers seamless support for such technologies, allowing customers to utilize enhanced benefits provided by these security systems. 

To provide such support, VIDIZMO implements different DRM technologies such as Microsoft's PlayReady, Google's Widevine and Apple's Fairplay. Read more about the implementation here: Understanding DRM in VIDIZMO.

Your content hosted in your Portal can be protected by DRM in VIDIZMO. But it must be enabled while your Portal's basic configurations are being set up during Setup Wizard. Setup Wizard is a process that allows you to set up your storage, encoding and SMTP providers in a simple and efficient manner. To learn more, read Understanding Setup Wizard.

Note: For DRM to be enabled, your Portal must be configured to use HTTPS only. To learn how to do that, read How to Configure your Portal to use HTTPS only.
