The SSO Video Page allows you to restrict access to published videos—whether shared via link or embedded—so that only authenticated users can view them, enhancing security and streamlining video sharing for internal audiences.
How the SSO video page works
SSO (Single Sign-On) enforcement can be applied at three levels:
Organization level
Workspace level
Individual video level
When the SSO Video Page is enabled:
The video player will display a login form and viewers must log in via SSO to access and watch the video.
