Beyond the access type options,
00:10
Flow Capture allows you the ability to shape how recipients interact with
00:14
your playlinks and add extra layers of security to your content.
00:18
If you wish, you can toggle the allow downloads option to grant recipients
00:23
the ability to download files directly from the playlink
00:26
without granting access to the folder itself.
00:32
Note that the files will automatically be watermarked
00:35
based on the watermark settings that you've selected.
00:38
The only exception to this is if a
00:40
recipient happens to have a high enough permission set
00:43
on the folder that the playlink has been sent from, that lets them remove those ones.
00:47
If this is the case,
00:48
they'll be able to download clean versions of the assets found in the playlink.
00:55
Turning on the allow comments option enables recipients to
00:58
leave comments or annotations directly on the playlink.
01:02
These comments can be exported to various formats
01:05
and viewed inside the folder.
01:07
We'll cover the specifics of commenting and annotating in other tutorials.
01:14
In the viewing restrictions section,
01:15
you'll have the option to enable an IP-based location restriction for viewing.
01:20
When toggled on, the initial location where a viewer opens the
01:23
playlink becomes the only place they can watch it.
01:26
For example, if they open it at home,
01:28
they won't be able to view it at the office or anywhere else.
01:33
This option can be reset by simply resending the playlink.
01:38
Lastly,
01:39
the set viewing limit option allows you to choose how many times
01:42
a viewer can access the playlink's contents before it automatically expires.
01:46
Note that if you allow downloads,
01:48
the set viewing limit option goes away, as you
01:51
can't restrict the number of views for downloadable assets.
01:56
The final section is playlink watermarks, which will be covered in the playlink
02:00
watermarking tutorial.
