Geo region control allows you to limit access to your content based on geographic regions. You can specify which regions are allowed or blocked from accessing your streams. This feature is particularly useful when you need to comply with regional content distribution regulations or target specific audiences in different locations. Geo region control helps prevent unauthorized access and ensures your content is only available in the intended regions.
To enable geo region control for your content on BlendVision One, you can utilize the following APIs when creating VOD or Live streaming:
- For VOD content
POST /bv/cms/v1/vods
- For Live streaming content
POST /bv/cms/v1/lives
You can selectively control viewership by specifying a list of allowed countries using the Alpha-3
format from the ISO 3166 international standard. Here's an example configuration where only viewers from Japan are allowed to access the content:
"geo_control":[
"JPN"
