What is Anti-Download and how does it work?

What is Anti-Download?


Anti-Download is an advanced protection feature offered by Panda Video, designed to block the use of software, browser extensions, and tools that allow online video downloads.


When this feature is enabled, your videos are automatically more secure against unauthorized copying, offering stronger protection for those who work with exclusive content, such as courses, VSLs, and corporate training sessions.


⚠️ While Anti-Download significantly increases protection, no technology can guarantee 100% protection against piracy. However, it greatly complicates the efforts of those trying to copy your content.



How does Anti-Download work?


When you enable Anti-Download for a video:


  • Panda Video applies advanced techniques to detect download attempts;
  • Tools such as Chrome extensions and video capture software are blocked or prevented from accessing the video files;
  • The video displays a blocking message, informing that downloading is not allowed.



Who can use this feature?


🟡 Anti-Download is available exclusively for Gold plan customers and comes at no extra cost.


If you're on the Gold plan, simply activate the feature on your videos whenever you want extra protection.



What does the viewer see?


When someone tries to use software to download a protected video, they will see the following message:



🎯 Want to test it out? Visit the Panda Video homepage. The main video has Anti-Download enabled — you can simulate a download and see how the block works.



Conclusion


Anti-Download is an extra layer of protection that helps reduce piracy and ensures your content is only viewed on authorized platforms.


If you're a digital product creator, content producer, or manage a members area, this feature provides peace of mind and greater control over your intellectual property.
