Set geoblocking rules for a property

By setting a geoblocking rule for a property, the rule applies to all the cloud-hosted or registered content.

🚧
Be mindful of the following when setting geoblocking rules:

Geoblocking rules apply only to the content played within a player. Player libraries are not impacted by geoblocking rules.

Only Admin user accounts can modify a property’s global geoblocking setting.

FAQ

What does a viewer from a blocked region see?

Viewers who click on content that is restricted in their locations will see an error and will not be able to view your content.

Can I apply multiple geoblocking rules to my content?

Only one geoblocking rule can be set for a property or a video. Furthermore, the global geoblocking setting applies to all videos in the property except for those with their own geoblocking rules.
