Creating Private or Password-Protected Videos

Cinema8 allows you to control who can access your videos through a set of flexible privacy options. You can choose to make a video public, restrict it with a password, or even limit access to specific domains for internal-only use.


How to Adjust Privacy Settings

Step 1: Open Video Settings

  • Go to My Videos and select the video you’d like to protect.
  • Click the … (more options) menu or the privacy status icon (e.g., “Public”).

Step 2: Select “Adjust Privacy”

  • From the dropdown menu, choose Adjust Privacy to open the privacy settings modal.

Step 3: Choose Your Privacy Level

  • Public — Anyone with the link can watch.
  • Private + Password Protected — Add a password so only viewers with the code can access the video.
  • Restrict to Specific Domains — Limit access by domain (e.g., yourcompany.com) for extra security.

Step 4: Save Settings

  • Once your preferred options are selected, click Save.
  • Your privacy preferences will take effect immediately.

🔐 Tip: Use domain restrictions for internal training, client-only resources, or gated events. Combine with passwords for layered protection.


By configuring video privacy in Cinema8, you maintain full control over who sees your content—whether it’s public, invite-only, or restricted to internal teams.
