Content Restrictions

Content Restrictions define where, when, and how content can be accessed.

What are Content Restrictions?

Content Restrictions are rules that limit access to video content based on geography, time window, device, or user eligibility.

Why Content Restrictions matter in OTT platforms

They ensure compliance with licensing agreements and regional rights while protecting content owners.
