How to enable Photo-Only player access?

๐Ÿ’ป Environment/Context

  • Media access
  • Labels

ย 

โ“ Issue/Question

  • Is it possible to configure a player's access so they can only see photos they are tagged in, and not videos?
  • Can players be restricted to photo-only access?

ย 

๐Ÿ‘Œ Resolution/Answer

  • You can restrict players to specific content (e.g., photo-only or no videos) by using Labels to manage access to the media
  • Labels can be associated with specific account types, allowing you to control which users can access certain media. For example, you could create these two labels:
    • How to create Labels?ย 
      • Not for Players โ€” configure this label so that all account types except players have access
      • Approved for Players โ€” configure this label so that all account types, including players, have access
  • After you have set up your Labels on the platform, you can exclude your existing videos from being distributed to players by:
    • Navigate to Media Library
    • Filter the media by Format > Video
    • Select the relevant videos in bulk and apply the Not for Players label
    • This prevents players from accessing those videos
  • Going forward, when uploading new media, you can apply either the Not for Players or Approved for Players label depending on who should have access
  • If you need to change the label settings for specific media later, you can also manage this directly through your media library or when viewing assets inside a collection
