Session Management
Session Management controls how user playback sessions are created, tracked, and validated.
What is Session Management?
Session Management refers to how OTT platforms track active user sessions during app usage and video playback. It ensures secure and consistent access across devices.
Why Session Management matters in OTT platforms
It helps enforce concurrency limits, prevent account sharing abuse, and manage device access. Session control is critical for subscription integrity.
How Session Management works in practice
Each playback request creates a session token tied to a user, profile, device, and entitlement. Rules determine whether additional sessions are allowed or blocked.
Where Session Management is used
Session logic operates at login, playback start, and entitlement validation across all OTT devices.
