Password Protection
Use available password controls when selected videos should only be viewed by people who have the required access details.
Secure Video Hosting for Private and Protected Content
Protect selected videos with controlled sharing, privacy options, secure embedding and professional HLS playback.
What Is Secure Video Hosting?
Secure video hosting is designed for publishers who need more control over how selected video content is stored, shared and viewed. Instead of treating every uploaded video as an unrestricted public file, a secure workflow can combine privacy settings, controlled sharing, access restrictions and professional streaming delivery.
FileMoon brings video hosting and HLS playback together with available access-control options so creators, websites and businesses can manage protected video content without building their own media infrastructure.
Security requirements vary by project. A private training video may need different controls from a public marketing video, while regional content may require different access rules again. The right configuration should match the sensitivity and intended audience of each video.
Secure Video Hosting Features
FileMoon provides practical controls for publishers who want to combine protected access with professional online playback.
Privacy Controls
Choose suitable visibility and sharing settings based on the intended audience for each video.
Geographic Restrictions
Use supported geographic controls when video access needs to vary by viewer location.
Secure Embedding
Publish hosted videos inside supported websites while keeping media delivery separate from the main web server.
Controlled Watch Links
Share dedicated viewing pages when direct controlled access is more appropriate than a normal public file link.
HLS Video Delivery
Combine protected publishing workflows with segmented HLS playback for supported browsers and devices.
Private Video Sharing Without Self-Hosting
Self-hosting private video gives complete infrastructure control, but it also means managing storage, bandwidth, processing, players, security rules and ongoing maintenance.
A managed platform can reduce that operational burden. FileMoon allows publishers to keep video processing and delivery separate from the main website while using available protection and sharing controls.
For broader storage and management details, see the video hosting platform guide. For playback and delivery workflows, see the video streaming platform guide.
