How to stop students sharing your course videos

Why paid videos leak, what actually stops it, and what to do when a video is shared anyway.

Why videos leak

Most leaks are not hackers. A student shares a login with friends, downloads a file and forwards it, or records the screen. Each needs a different answer.

Stop login sharing

Limit how many devices each student can use, and decide what happens when they try one more: block the new device or sign out the oldest. Sign-ins bound to the device's secure hardware stop copied logins from working elsewhere.

Stop file sharing

Stream videos encrypted instead of giving files. If students may watch offline, keep downloads encrypted and playable only inside your app.

Make recordings traceable

A moving watermark with the student's name or phone makes every recording point back to its source. Screen recording is blocked or detected on the apps and reported to you.

When a video leaks anyway

Find the account from the watermark, sign out or block its devices, and contact the student. A clear rule in your terms, and one visible action, stops most repeat sharing.
