There s always this awkward trade-off between compatibility and security when it comes to protected video playback.

Take screenshot prevention as an example. In reality, it only works reliably on a limited set of environments mainly iOS (Safari), Android (Chrome), macOS (Safari) and Windows (Edge). Outside of those, you just can t guarantee it.

So you end up in a tricky spot:

• If you enforce strict security, some users simply won t be able to watch the content at all

• If you open it up for broader compatibility, you lose that level of protection
