Three layers between your content and pirates

DRM (Digital Rights Management) is the same technology Netflix, Disney+, and Spotify use to protect premium content.

Encrypted at upload

The moment your file lands on Kinescope servers, it is encrypted. The raw video file is never accessible from outside — no direct CDN links, no workarounds.

  • Clean, intuitive dashboard.
  • Fast upload and transcoding.
  • No-code embedding anywhere.

Brand It your way

When a viewer hits play, their browser or app requests a temporary license key from our DRM server. Without that key, the encrypted stream is useless data.

  • Add your logo and colors.

DRM is just the beginning

Kinescope layers multiple protections so that every attack vector is covered — not just screen recording.

Moving from Vimeo, Mux, or YouTube? We'll pull your library over, preserve metadata and folder structure for free on the Super plan. Most migrations complete within a week.

Smart Analytics

Per-lesson engagement, drop-off points, watch-through rates so you can see which module loses students, which lesson gets rewatched, who is stuck and where. Plug analytics into your LMS or pull via API.

Video protection

DRM encryption (Widevine + FairPlay) keeps videos playable only in authorized sessions. Stack more on top: dynamic watermarks burn the student's ID into every frame, passwords and one-time codes gate entry, and email allowlists limit access to a specific cohort.

Put the money you save on video into better courses.

The full feature set on every plan: DRM, adaptive streaming, analytics, white-label — at pricing that holds at renewal. See what you'd pay at three typical scales and spend more wisely.

*Storage = library hours × 7 GB/hr (average weight of the original file plus all resolutions combined). Delivery = viewing hours × 2.5 GB/hr (average file size streamed to one viewer, adapted to their connection).

*Range per Vendr's 2026 database of B2B SaaS contract pricing. Vimeo paid tiers (Starter €8, Standard €19, Advanced €69) cap bandwidth at 2 TB/month and don't include DRM — any EdTech setup at real scale lands on Enterprise.

From one course to thousands.

The same setup handles your first course and your thousandth. Adaptive streaming picks the right bitrate for each viewer's connection, so playback stays smooth and you only pay for the traffic their device can actually use. On launch days and exam weeks, a 180+ PoP global network absorbs traffic spikes without a capacity call.

FAQ

Can’t find the answer you need? Check out our Help Center.

 Can I restrict videos to enrolled students only?

Yes. Every paid plan includes a stack of access controls: DRM (Widevine + FairPlay), watermarks, domain restrictions, password protection, unique access codes, and integration with your own auth backend. SSO comes with the Mega plan. DRM is available on Super from €10/month, no custom contract required. You can lock playback to your LMS domain, bind sessions to student IDs, and revoke access when enrollment ends.

Does it work with our LMS?

Yes. We offer a dedicated plugin for WordPress. For most other LMSs and course platforms, adding Kinescope works through an embed code. If your LMS doesn't accept embeds or you're on a custom stack, our REST API covers upload, embed, playback events, and access control. Need help migrating from another service or wiring up the integration? Our team covers both — migration is free on the Super and Mega plans.

What if we're already on Vimeo, Mux, or YouTube?

Our team runs the migration for you at no extra cost on the Super and Mega plans. You share read access (API token or exported archive); we handle ingestion, transcoding, and metadata mapping. For larger or non-standard setups, we'll walk through the plan with you first.

How does pricing scale with students?

You pay for storage, delivery, and a one-time transcoding fee at upload. Storage and transcoding depend on how much content you host, not how many students you have. Only delivery grows with how much they watch. See the calculator for your numbers.

Is student data GDPR-compliant?

Kinescope B.V. is based in Emmen, the Netherlands, and operates under GDPR. We don't store student personal data — student records live in your LMS, and Kinescope handles the video infrastructure behind them. The data Kinescope does hold (video files, aggregate playback analytics) stays within EEA infrastructure. Full details in our Privacy Policy.
