Protect WordPress Videos & Audios

WordPress Media Protection extension built on Video.js HTML5 video player library offers a simple, fast and secure way to embed and protect both your WordPress videos and audios.

This extension comes in handy when you want to allow your paid users to view your videos online, but at the same time stop them from downloading the videos.

• No more "inspect elements" to direct access and share the video file URLs
• Stop most popular video downloaders including Internet Download Manager (IDM) from downloading your videos

WordPress Self-hosted Videos & Audios

Protect your WordPress videos and audios link by expiring its private download links every 5 seconds. Once the previous private links expire, the extension auto-generates a new one that keeps the video playing smoothly.

The extension comes with a friendly UI - compatible with Gutenberg WordPress block editor. It's simple and easy to embed your videos and audios in any posts, pages, and content widget you want. You don’t even need to use nor understand any shortcode as it’s automatically embedded in your content.

We recommend you not to self-host your videos whose sizes are bigger than 100 MB. Otherwise, the videos wouldn't be playing smoothly unless your hosting server is really powerful. Please use HLS method and host these videos on Amazon S3 for better user experience, instead.

WordPress HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) Videos

Flash is dying. It's time to use a much better video protection method with HTTP Live Streaming (HLS). HLS offers better playing quality, experience, and protection against tools like IDM as well.

Your video files will be split into short & small chunks called MPEG2 Transport Stream with the .ts file extension. Each chunk is encrypted with a special algorithm. So even if video downloaders can somehow download them, they can't be opened.

Protect Video & Audio Playlist

Once your videos/audios are protected with PDA Gold, our video extension provides you with a simple shortcode to display a video/audio playlist.

Users are allowed to access this playlist but will not be able to download them, even via the most popular download tools. Isn’t it just perfect?

Tutor LMS Integration

Tutor LMS plugin allows you to prevent unwanted users from accessing video lesson URLs directly.

But you will need extra protection to stop your video lessons from download tools like IDM. No worries, our plugins have got you covered.
