What is Streamio SECURE?

Streamio SECURE is a smart feature that allows you to restrict viewing of your video content to one or several IP addresses. This is particularly useful for those of you who want to publish video content on a corporate intranet and need  to prevent unauthorized access and viewing of your videos.

Streamio SECURE is activated on an account level, i.e you will have to create a separate, secure account where you upload and publish videos you want to protect.

Secure accounts work just like other accounts on Streamio - you can start right away by creating a FREE secure account and, whenever it is convenient for you, upgrade to a suitable subscription plan of your choice.
 

Create a SECURE account

Creating a SECURE account is really simple:

1) Click on your account name on the top left of the navigation menu select ”Add Account”.



2) Give your new account a Title and make sure you mark the checkbox  ”Make this account SECURE”.



Then, click on the “Create Account”-button.

Done! You’ve now created a new, secure account.

As you will notice, your secure account will show a small icon next to the account name as a reminder that all videos you upload and publish through this account will only be accessible and viewable from the specific IP addresses you have approved/specified.
 

Set IP addresses/ranges

Before you can upload any videos to your new secure account, you must first set up your approved IP addresses/ranges:

First, go to your “ACCOUNT SETTINGS” and then on to the “ADD-ON’S” section.

There you will find a field where you are able to specify one or several IP addresses which are authorized to access and view video content published through this account:



If you prefer, you can also specify a range of IP addresses in CIDR-format. To convert an IP range into CIDR-format, we recommend you use this simple, free web application: http://ip2cidr.com.

When you’ve specified the approved IP addresses/ranges, you’re all set! You can now start uploading videos to your new account and publish them in a secure way on your corporate intranet.
