Protection on course IP 🚩 urgent
Shaarav
Hi Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
We have encountered instances where users have easily downloaded our courses and shared them in different communities for free. To enhance the security of our content, we would like to request the following features urgently:
Watermark with User Information:
Implement a floating watermark that displays the user's name and mobile number throughout the video. This feature is offered by some other course platforms and acts as a deterrent against unauthorized sharing.
Block Screenshots and Video Downloads:
Introduce security measures to block screenshots and prevent video downloads. This could include:
Disabling the right-click context menu on videos.
Utilizing DRM (Digital Rights Management) to secure video content.
Implementing a screen capture prevention mechanism.
We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter as it is crucial for maintaining the integrity and exclusivity of our course content.
Thank you for your support.

I'm so sorry this happened to you Shaarev. This is a known and not-going-away issue with online learning and sharing, and I'm sure the Zenler team will appreciate your ideas.
My suggestion as a fellow course creater, if you are open to it, is to immediately implement your first idea on your own. Create your own watermark and install on all of your videos and re-upload them. You having creative control over your own watermark and how it appears is also a side benefit to this.
The likelihood that these suggestions will all be able to be implemented on this platform and implemented in a timeline that feels appropriately urgent to you might be low (I'm not sure as I'm not a software person and not speaking from the Zenler software team).
These appear to be quite complex requests, and honestly this problem persists even with every possible security measure in place. I can simply screenshot someone else's course videos or YouTube videos and upload them elsewhere. An IP attorney may also be someone you would want to engage with if the actual cost of the stolen material outweighs the attorney fees.
I'm sorry this happened, again.
