From the developer

ArtistScope's own description of CopySafe Video Protection, lightly tidied.

Copy protect video from all save and copy including screenshots and screen recording. This plugin enables the use of copy protected videos in WordPress posts and pages. Encrypted CopySafe Video can be played in ArtisBrowser.

Note: No other WordPress plugin can prevent all methods of copy on its own. The difference with Copysafe plugins is that they are a tool that enables the use of more efficient copy protection solutions that interact at system level where copy needs to be actioned.

CopySafe Video provides the most secure copy protection for video both online and offline. When displaying protected video online with domain lock applied, the video file cannot be used or displayed from anywhere else. With video now bound to your website, you can apply DRM rules to control access to the page via your WordPress member/subscription login system.

  • Easy install.
  • Upload and add copy protected video to web pages using WordPress editor tools.
  • Ideal for Classic Editor – also supported in Guternberg and Elementor edtors.
  • Allow/disallow by OS/device with minimum version checking to ensure the latest secuirty.

  • Player automatically resizes to fit available space when browser resized.
  • Safe from PrintScreen and all screen capture software.
  • Videos can be encrypted for Domain Lock (locking to your website).
  • Domain locked videos cannot be saved and displayed anywhere else.
  • Special buffering enables video to play before download completes.
  • Lossless encryption only increases file size by a few bytes.
