Restricting domain access on your videos
Restrict your Livid videos to specific domains to prevent unauthorized playback, with optional wildcard support and the ability to disable the direct watch page.
You can restrict the domains your videos can be watched from using the Restrict embed domains option on the Share & Embed controls of a video:
How it works

If you add a domain, then your video will only play on that domain. If a user tries to access the video from another domain, it will not play. This is useful if your placing your video behind a paywall.
Step by step
When adding a domain, ensure any additional characters in the URL are removed.
If you would like to add a wildcard domain, meaning all sub-domains are included then add *. before the URL. e.g.

Users attempting to access the watch link will now be greeted with the following message (note, the link will still work for you when you’re logged in):
