Feature Overview: Digital Rights Management (DRM)

Brandlive’s new DRM feature will protect webinar and townhall proprietary content from unauthorized distribution, recording, or replay, ensuring compliance with content licensing, intellectual property (IP) protection, and internal security policies for both live and on-demand content. It can be combined with Brandlive’s other content security feature, End-User Watermarking to achieve an airtight experience.

How to Configure

First, you will need to request an Apple Fairplay certificate. This is a requirement for DRM to apply to Apple devices.

• Follow the steps HERE to request the certificate from Apple. Make sure to allow ample processing time for the request prior to important deadlines.
• Once the certificate has bas been received, submit a Service Request and include the secure zip file that includes the certificate.
• The Brandlive Solutions team will get the certificate applied and feature enabled in your channel.
• Once this is enabled in your channel, it is applied to all projects and sessions moving forward.
• This can be toggled off by session. Navigate to any session and under "Session Settings", scroll down to "Session Options" and the toggle for "DRM Required" can be turned off.

• To test it's enabled and working properly, stream to the page and attempt to take a screenshot. Any attempted screenshot or recording should contain black where the video content would display.

Important Notes:

• Registration is required to utilize DRM.
• DRM is attached to the broadcasted stream/video file. Once media has been streamed with DRM enabled, it will include this for On Demand as well as in the file that lives in the Brandlive Content Manager. If repurposed in any capacity in the Brandlive Platform via our Content Manager, it will retain the security elements.
• Files that are exported from the Brandlive Platform will have the DRM elements stripped.
