Hi i@irensaltali, it seems like a great product but I have one question about privacy. How do you secure videos? Let's say I built an e-learning platform (as you say). I stream video content with image4io. On the buyer get a course and see all the URLs of videos. Can this buyer share this URL with anyone?
Congrats on the launch.
Hi @osman_kocs, It is great question. We provide secure URLs for privacy and security of your videos.
Then what is 'secure URL'? 🔗
Secure URL is token based authentication for your content. First you put a restriction for certain assets (image or video). After that you generate a token based on a few parameters for that asset (like IP address of viewer or time window to access). You use this token as URL parameter of content URL. In this way, a secure URL will be created. Content won't be visible even your user shares this URL with others.
I think it is one step ahead in personal video streaming and it will open an opportunity for many creators and educators to start private streaming! Like the product!
Congrats for the launch and good luck! :)
?makers Can we stream our videos on instagram live using it ?
@hachem_haddad Thanks Hachem,
Currently, we are looking for new ways to stream videos live but current state of the product we don't support live streaming.
I think in the current world scenario when we are all struggling with various problems worldwide then this tool looks very promising and it will surely help educators and content creators to make personal streaming more helpful.
I think it will reach new milestones in the personal video streaming field!
Congratulations for the launch :)
First of all Congrats to the Image4io team! Great job so far! My question is related to security of the hosted videos. Your secure URL feature is available only on Premium plan. What about security on other plans? Secondly, the secure URL prevents viewing by unauthorized person. But it doesn't prevent download. For the use case scenario that you mentioned, e.g. private course video, one may want to disable download altogether by the viewer, even if it is an authorized viewer. I am not sure how you are addressing this. I am interested in being an early adopter.
@irensaltali if my website hosting plan already has Cloudflare CDN, how does image4io help with my webpage loading speed and streaming?
@celebrian Beside CDN we provide optimization and manipulation on your images. So your website will be on best image CDN performance regardless of size of your original images.

@irensaltali interesting. What problem does it solve? Why not use YouTube or Vimeo?
@eric_axelrod Hi Eric. Let's assume you are trying to build e-learning platform like Udemy. You can't stream your videos from YouTube or Vimeo. You need more private streaming infrastructure. That is one of the usage scenarios for 'image4io Stream'.
We are providing fully controllable private streaming infrastructure as a SaaS. And all you need to do is uploading. After that we encode, store and stream to anywhere in the world to any device.
Congratulations on the Product Hunt launch. Seems a great product but I have a question. How do I start using your product while having many videos on my previous storage service. It seems a lot of work to upload all of my videos to your system. Do you have any migration service or utility to use?
Hi @yigitkonur
We know that migrating from one service to another is a tedious process. As image4io, we are providing migration tools from well-known and common cloud platforms to our storage. That way, you can easily start using our streaming service without too much hassle. We support AWS S3, Azure Storage, DO Spaces, FTP and more.
@irensaltali Great! I will be happy to see a Youtube Migration tool to secure my 'unlisted' videos. Until to this time, using simple youtube-downloader scripts in CLI and uploading to S3 is viable solution.
@yigitkonur Great feedback. We can definitely do that. We are adding this to our roadmap.
