Private video sharing is becoming a must-have, especially for businesses. You probably don’t want your internal staff training videos to surface on the web and you most certainly don’t want recordings of your company meetings to pop up in the Google search results.
So, if you need to upload, store and share videos online privately, you'll need more than a video hosting platform. You’ll need a private and secure video hosting platform . To help you in your search, we've rounded up four different private video hosting sites and listed their most important security features.
StreamingVideoProvider gives you the ability to lock specific videos or playlists with passwords.
You can restrict access to your content by IP address. This is ideal for companies who want their private videos to be accessible only within their internal network(s).
Make your videos available only at certain locations, e.g. your company offices.
StreamingVideoProvider’s secure video hosting service uses a 128-bit AES algorithm (the same algorithm used by the United States government) to encrypt your videos and prevent unauthorized downloads. Even if a video is downloaded, it cannot be watched because of the encryption.
Domain whitelisting allows you to create a list of pre-approved sites to display your content. No one will be able to embed a video on a website that is not on the list.
One of the ways to share videos privately with StreamingVideoProvider is to generate a unique private link. Only those with the link can access your content. Combined with other features like IP and domain restrictions, private links make it easy to share video content without any risk.
Prevent your videos from being downloaded.
Besides sharing recorded videos privately, StreamingVideoProvider gives you the option broadcast privately. You can use all video protection features that we reviewed, i.e. IP, Geo and Domain Restrictions, Encryption, etc.
With StreamingVideoProvider, you can also live stream on a public site. In this case, you can use the Dynamic Watermark feature to deter pirates from recording your content. A Dynamic Watermark is like a corner bug but, instead of a logo, it shows personal viewer information (location, name, email address and even password of the current viewer) and changes its position every few seconds.
See StreamingVideoProvider's password protection in action! Click “Play” below and enter password “test123”.
With Wistia, your videos are organized in collections called “Projects”. Each project can be either locked or unlocked. When locked, the content in a project can only be accessed by those you invite and lend special privileges to (e.g admin permissions or sharing permissions).
Again, on the project level, you can regulate the permissions of each user. This includes granting the right to collaborate, edit or view only.
Like on other secure video sharing websites, you can easily block your Wistia videos from being downloaded.
One of the ways to share a private video with Wistia is to copy/paste a sharing link and send it to whomever you want. We’d recommend using this feature with locked projects only for greater security.
Wistia’s password protect feature is only available as a global setting. You can lock all of your uploads with a single password but you cannot set a password per video.
You can create a list of approved domains where your videos can be embedded. Unfortunately, you cannot customize this list per video. Instead, your whitelist will be used for all videos.
With domain level privacy, your content can ONLY be embedded to your website. This is the same as the Domain Whitelisting and Domain Hotlinking features we discussed above.
Another useful feature offered by Vimeo’s private video hosting service is the ability to disable downloads.
Easily create a password that is required to view your content. Unlike Wistia, Vimeo Pro allows you to lock a single video with a password.
Vimeo Pro’s video hosting service allows you to keep some videos hidden from public view and make them accessible only to your collaborators.
Like all of the rest of the video hosting sites on this list, Vimeo allows you to generate a private sharing link and send it.
Whenever you upload to Vimeo, you give them “the right and license to copy, use, distribute, publicly perform, and display the licensed work” in order for them to properly deliver their services. You also waive any 'moral rights'. This doesn't necessarily mean that they will make your video available for public download without your knowledge, but, technically, they do have the right to do so. You can read more about Vimeo’s terms here .
Unfortunately, you cannot password protect youtube videos . If you’re uploading sensitive information, we’d recommend using a more secure video hosting site.
You have the option to list your videos as Private, which will keep them from being shown on your channel. To share a YouTube Private video, you’ll need to invite collaborators over email. They must sign in to a YouTube account to be able to watch.
This option is much like Google Drive’s link sharing feature. Unlisted videos are somewhere between private and public videos. They won’t be visible on your channel but they can be accessed by anyone with a link, shared on public playlists, embedded on a website or posted to social media. The link to an Unlisted video can be passed on to third parties without your knowledge.
Unlisted videos are vulnerable and this is definitely something to keep in mind when going over the pros and cons of YouTube for business.
When publishing a video to YouTube, you can invite users to manage content on your channel. By inviting people via email, you can give them roles and distribute privileges as you see fit, e.g. easily give or deny permission to upload, view, or edit video content.
When selecting private video hosting for business, you may want to consider these questions:
These are the most fundamental concerns, so you’ll want to answer with a “Yes”. In the end, the best site to share videos privately will take privacy and security as seriously as you do.
To be honest, it’s nearly impossible to find video hosting that’s free and private. YouTube may be a great way to share videos with friends and family or to publish videos for remote customer support , but it isn’t the best place to host private videos. Unless you want to risk your internal meetings, training videos and paid video content to be found online.
If you intend to keep your private videos private, it’s better to go with an online video platform for business.
Wistia and Vimeo Pro do offer the core video privacy and security features. StreamingVideoProvider includes these as well as several more advanced capabilities to protect your recorded video content and live streams. The choice is yours and we hope that this article will help you.
By the way, we are constantly working to make StreamingVideoProvider the best private video sharing site. You can try us free here .

There used to be a time when sharing a video online was a tough job. These days, the problem has morphed into having too many options. Whether you want to share a video with the world, or only show it to your friends and family, the following websites will help you out.
YouTube is the world’s largest video sharing platform. It’s fairly easy to use (many video apps even support uploading directly to YouTube), and you can share videos publicly or privately for free.
To upload a video, you’ll need a Google account and to be signed into YouTube. On the top right of the screen, you’ll see the option to upload your video.
Clicking the button will take you to the following screen. You can then select your video files from your computer or drag-and-drop your files in the upload area.
You can also upload videos privately on YouTube if you wish. The option is not straight-forward, so let us explain. If you click the drop-down that says “Public,” you’ll see four options.
The “Public” option means that the video you upload will be public and appear in YouTube searches for the relevant terms. The “Scheduled” option makes a video public but sets its availability for a specific date and time.
For keeping videos private, there are two options, and this is what they mean:
The level of privacy you want to set on each video is your choice. You can upload all your videos publicly, or create a private collection just for friends and family.
Google Photos is another excellent way to share videos. The advantage of Google Photos is that it has a more straightforward interface than YouTube and sharing is easier through your mobile phone. It’s even possible that your videos are already uploaded to the site if you’re a Google Photos user. The service also supports albums, which can have both photos and videos, making it an excellent option for sharing pictures and videos together.
You can upload a video manually or use one of the videos that your phone backed up automatically , but shared albums give you more control and also allow other people contribute to the album so that pictures and videos from everyone can be organized in the same place.
You start by creating a shared album.
On the next screen, click the sharing icon.
On the next screen, you’ll be sharing the album with other people using their email addresses. You can also create a shareable link and send that to people instead.
Regarding privacy, there are three things that you need to know about Google Photos.
So, Google Photos isn’t quite as secure as YouTube if you have videos for which you want to restrict access. But, being able to combine videos and photos into albums is great and letting other people contribute to them can be a lot of fun.
One of the easiest ways to share your video is to upload it to Facebook. Most people have a Facebook account, which makes it easy to share your video with everyone. Choose the Photo/Video option from the post screen to upload the video. By default, the video’s privacy settings will be the same as you’ve set for your posts. So if your status updates are shown only to your friends, then your video will be too.
You can fine tune this by setting privacy options for individual posts. For example, if you’re set to post publicly to Facebook by default, you can still post a private video by clicking the drop-down menu on that post and choosing a different privacy option.
If you have any doubts about who’ll be able to see your video, Facebook has put together a helpful guide that you can go through.
If you find this complicated, then you can create a Facebook Group instead and upload your video there. Only the people who you accept as members of the group will be able to see the videos you upload there.
Vimeo is a video sharing platform similar to YouTube. The difference is that Vimeo is generally used by professional video creators to show off their work. But, you can use Vimeo to upload your home videos or any other videos that you like. Vimeo doesn’t run ads and is supported by professional creators who pay a subscription fee to host their videos.
There is a free plan too, but it does come with some limits. For example, you’re limited to 500 MB of uploads per week and 5 GB total. You also can’t use the free plan to upload videos for a business (and that includes videos containing any form of advertising). Paid plans start at $7 a month and go up to $75 a month. Detailed limits of the free plan are listed in Vimeo’s help docs .
Vimeo also supports privacy controls on uploaded videos. There are many privacy options, and most of them are available even for free members, including the option to password protect your videos.
You can find more details about all the privacy options on Vimeo’s overview page .
There are plenty of cloud storage providers which you can use to share videos, including Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox. For demonstration, we’ll use Google Drive as an example.
On all cloud storage platforms, the idea behind organizing your video is the same. You can create a folder, add your videos to it, and then share the folder with the people you want. You can share individual files, but having a folder is almost always better. In the case of Google Drive, you add your video to a folder and then click the drop-down next to the folder’s name to see the share option.
You can then share the folder in three ways.
Other cloud storage providers might handle sharing differently, so please go through their documentation carefully to understand the difference.
An important thing to note about using cloud storage is that most cloud providers don’t let you watch the video online. You and the people you share the video with will probably have to download the video to a computer or mobile phone and then watch it. Of course, if that what you want people to be able to do, then cloud sharing is a great option.
