What is already in free?

Protection and measurement: watermarking, anti-download, login gating, role and stream limits, playback from five platforms, and completion analytics with milestones. Pro adds publishing to those platforms, heatmaps and realtime viewers, suspicious-activity detection, and ClearKey DRM. The free plugin must stay active.

Does MediaShield Pro require the free plugin?

Yes. Pro is an add-on that extends the free MediaShield plugin, which must be installed and activated first. Both are on version 1.1.0 and should be updated together.

How does the DRM encryption work?

Pro supports ClearKey DRM via two methods: Bunny Stream automatic cloud packaging and local Shaka Packager for DASH and HLS. Content is encrypted with AES-128 and played back through Shaka Player, with streaming or persistent licenses served behind session checks. This is software DRM. Hardware-backed Widevine L1 is not included.

Which platforms can I upload to from WordPress?

Bunny Stream, Vimeo, YouTube, and Wistia, with resumable uploads and progress tracking. All platform credentials are encrypted with AES-256 using your site's SECURE_AUTH_SALT.

Which LMS plugins does the auto-complete support?

LearnDash, Tutor LMS, and LifterLMS. A linked MediaShield video renders on the lesson page, gates access by enrollment, and auto-completes the lesson when the viewer finishes watching.

What happens to my data if I deactivate Pro?

Your data stays in the database and Pro features fall back to free defaults. Tables are only dropped when you delete the plugin entirely through the WordPress admin.

How do the heatmaps help me improve a video?

Playback events aggregate into 10-second position buckets, so the heatmap shows exactly where viewers rewatch and where they drop off. You re-cut the weak section on evidence instead of guessing.

Playback heatmap

10s playback buckets reveal exactly where members rewatch and drop off, per video.

3 LMS integrations auto-complete lessons and gate playback by enrollment: LearnDash, Tutor, and LifterLMS.

AES-128 ClearKey DRM through Shaka Player, packaged by Bunny Stream or local Shaka Packager. Software DRM, no Widevine L1 required.

Built for

Six teams that outgrew a watermark.

Watermarking proves who leaked a video. These teams need to stop the copy before it happens, automate the LMS, or report the numbers to someone. Pick the closest fit.

Premium course creators

Encrypt high-ticket lessons with ClearKey DRM so the file on disk is unplayable without a session-checked license, not just overlaid with a name.

LMS and training platforms

Link a MediaShield video to a LearnDash, Tutor, or LifterLMS lesson and let completion auto-mark when the viewer finishes, with access gated by enrollment.

Marketing teams

Fire a webhook to your CRM when a viewer reaches a completion milestone, and tag the contact automatically.

Data-driven educators

Read the per-video heatmap and retention curve to find the minute everyone skips, then re-cut the lesson with evidence instead of a guess.

Safety and compliance teams

Catch suspicious activity with multi-IP, devtools, rapid-seek, and VPN detection, manage the alerts, and get a weekly digest in your inbox.

Agencies and resellers

Run Pro on every client site, browse and bulk import from Bunny, YouTube, Vimeo, and Wistia, and export CSV or PDF reports clients can read.

Builds on free, no overlap

What Pro adds on top of free MediaShield.

Pro extends the free plugin, it does not replace it. The free foundation stays exactly as is, and Pro layers DRM, deep analytics, and automation on top. The free MediaShield plugin must be active.
