How to secure the meeting from video piracy or screen capturing

[Prasad Pawar]

Hello BBB Team,

I am trying to secure the meeting against video piracy and screen recording. is there any way to achieve the same through BBB.

I have to protect the video/presentation in two scenarios : 

1. During the live meeting is running I have to block the screen capture or screen recording.

2. When the playback video is played I have to protect it with dynamic watermark and also have to block screen capture.

Is it possible? if yes please help me with the solution.

Thanks,

Prasad

Nothing stops someone from capturing video from hdmi port, or simply using phone to capture video.    Make sure your recordings have logo/copyright clearly in the capture.  So at least if its reused they know where it originated. (free advertising)

In 99% cases you can't stop someone from using OBS to capture everything (video and audio) on their screen..

Afaik there is only one DRM that is capable of this, the one Microsoft uses in their Edge browser. That's why Netflix limits their streams to 720p on all browsers except for Edge.

They can always re-encode it without a logo ;)) I mean if there is such a goal.

Hi Prasad,

I'm in a similar situation, seeking a dynamic (moving around randomly) user-specific (so can be traced back to subscriber/attendee/viewer) watermark for live video. Did you manage to find a solution or a workaround for BBB? I'm not aware of a platform that can do that out-of-the box with the video conferencing and screen-sharing facilities BBB has.

If anyone else knows how to develop a solution for this or if it's doable (whether watermarking each frame or simply add a transparent GUI layer/overlay with the watermark on top), please let me know.

[mike lake]

Hi Alex,

Is that via OBS?

Is it easy to remove a dynamic (randomly moving) watermark from a video? What about if it wasn't on the video frames but on the player's GUI as an transparent layer overlayed on top of the video player screen. Will OBS or another software be able to identify the video feed and extract that exclusively?

How much of a specialist do you need to be to do such watermark removal?

To workaround this, we developed an app and restricted screen capture during session. We force participants to join through app. 

Now working on for an app for windows...

So hdmi spliter, desktop screencapture utility, or cellphone camera, all can make great copy of content with little expertise needed.

 

Are you worried about an enduser or competitor using your content?

Stephen

do you develop apps that are using bbb natively, or do you just use the html5 client in your app internally?

A native app solution would be very appreciated, as this may solve some limitation issues.

cheers

Both, eventually. Copying content requires little expertise. Removing watermarks, I'm not so sure.

Do you have a link or a video to share to see your app?

Calling the webview for now. It serves the purpose of making it easier on devices + some features. 

 

I agree building native could make it more feature rich

Currently trying to figure out how to get a private video played with existing controls. 

[Reimar Bauer]

I have no idea, why that should protect it from catpuring. Anything
which goes through speakers in ears and through a display in eyes can
be captured.

I guess this is an identical problem to cinemas.

Hello,

You develop an application that is cross platform? How do you manage potential problems for users !!? I think we must develop bbb-web project  for this purpose and write specific app that use webview that load bbb is not a good way.
