Studio DRM's multi-DRM solution enables you to protect your media across multiple technologies and devices.

The use of Studio DRM with JW Platform requires the creation of a new property (called Sites in the JW Management API).

To enhance the security of your content <sup>[1](🔗), [2](🔗)</sup>, the new Studio DRM-enabled property will be preconfigured with the following:

  • JWT token signing enabled to protect license acquisition URLs

  • DRM content copy restrictions to prevent content transfers to account properties without DRM encryption enabled

  • Four predefined DRM policies

<br />

<a name="drm-supported-encryption"></a><sup>• 1 <em>Studio DRM only supports encrypting video (with or without in-band captions) and audio files. Encryption of documents, images, and side loaded (out-of-band) captions are not supported by Studio DRM.</em></sup> <a name="drm-screen-recording"></a><sup>• 2 <em>Studio DRM blocks recording via browser extensions/add-ons or certain software programs on the application level, but is not guaranteed for all web browsers. Blocking screen recording depends on the Content Decryption Module (CDM) used in the browser. The CDM may vary with browsers updates and versions.</em></sup>
