Fermion provides robust content protection mechanisms to safeguard your valuable educational content from unauthorized distribution and piracy. Our platform integrates industry-standard Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology alongside customizable video watermarking features, ensuring your intellectual property remains secure throughout the streaming and playback process.

​
Digital Rights Management (DRM)

Fermion’s built-in DRM support encrypts your live stream content, making it extremely difficult for unauthorized users to download, record, or redistribute your videos. This enterprise-grade protection works seamlessly across all supported devices and browsers, providing peace of mind while you focus on delivering quality education.

​
Key DRM Features

  • Automatic encryption: All live streams(with DRM enabled) are automatically encrypted using industry-standard protocols
  • Device-level protection: Content is protected at the hardware level on supported devices
  • Browser compatibility: Works across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge browsers.

Video Watermarking

In addition to DRM, Fermion offers dynamic video watermarking that overlays unique identifiers on each viewer’s stream. This powerful feature acts as a deterrent against content piracy and helps you identify the source of any leaked content.

​
How Video Watermarking Works

When enabled, each student viewing your live stream receives a unique watermark containing their user information. This watermark is dynamically generated and cannot be easily removed, making it possible to trace any unauthorized sharing back to the original viewer.

​
Watermarking Options

  • User ID watermarking: Display the student’s unique identifier on the video
  • Email watermarking: Show the registered email address of the viewer
  • Name: Add users’ name as an identifier to the watermark
  • Phone number: Shows the viewers mobile number.
  • Font size control: Choose where the watermark appears on the screen
  • Opacity settings: Adjust watermark visibility to balance security with viewing experience
