Keep your video host / Free, more in Pro

Your videos stay where they are. MediaShield plays them.

Paste a YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia or Bunny Stream link, or upload a file to your own server. Every one plays in the same protected player.

What it does

You add a video to the library by pasting its address. MediaShield recognises the host and its video ID, so there is no platform to pick. Files can also be uploaded from the admin and stored on your own server, outside the media library, where the player streams them through a permission-checked address. HLS streams play in every browser; DASH is not supported.

Setting it up

Go to Videos > Add New, paste the link or upload a file, choose a protection level and save. Place it with the video block or the [mediashield] shortcode. Pro connects your Bunny, YouTube, Vimeo and Wistia accounts so you can browse and import whole libraries.

The limits, stated plainly

Uploads are capped by your server's upload limit, often 64 to 128 MB on shared hosting, which a long lesson can exceed. For files on your own server, the folder is locked by an .htaccess rule, which only Apache reads: on nginx the file can be fetched by its address unless you add the rule Site Health gives you. MediaShield does not transcode, so there is no quality selector; you get quality rungs only if your host makes them.

Free and Pro

Playing from every host, and uploading to your own server, is free. Pro adds browsing, importing and uploading for your Bunny, YouTube, Vimeo and Wistia accounts. Every row, side by side.

Questions about keep your video host

Do I have to move my videos?
No. Keep hosting where you host now. MediaShield adds the gate, the watermark and the analytics in front of it.
Should I host on my own server?
For a few short videos it works. For a full course, a video host such as Bunny Stream handles bandwidth and quality rungs better, and MediaShield plays from it the same way.
Does it work with a page builder?
There is no Elementor or Divi widget. A builder element that prints a normal video tag or platform embed for a video already in your library is picked up and wrapped, so it works, without a dedicated panel.

This is in the free plugin.

No licence key, no site limit, nothing that expires.
