Learn how to restrict where your videos can be embedded with the help of a Domain whitelist.

Who can embed a media item

If embedding is enabled for a media item, anyone can add the embed code to any web page. However, to ensure that your media is only displayed on authorized websites, Domain Whitelisting is used.

Domain Whitelist

The Ravnur vCMS provides the capability to whitelist specific domains or IP addresses where your embedded videos are allowed to play. Navigate to Settings > Domain whitelist > Add domain or IP address to whitelist.

Wait for 10 minutes for the changes to become active.

If the page embeds a video from a domain that isn't whitelisted, the player will not load. Instead, viewers will receive a message indicating that the domain is not authorized to view the video:

Manage the Domain Whitelist settings within the admin portal of the Ravnur vCMS. Administrators can update the whitelist to include or exclude domains as needed.

• Whitelisting Domains: Add the specific domains or IP addresses to the whitelist to permit video playback on those sites.
• Restricting Access: The system will block any domain not on the whitelist from playing the video.

Universal Access

If you prefer to allow playback of your videos on any domain, you can add an asterisk (*) to the whitelist. This action will enable video playback across all domains without restriction.
