Configuring Watermarking Settings during Download

VIDIZMO allows you to configure settings related to watermarking content downloaded from your Portal. These settings let you decide what watermarking options are available on the download screen. For instance, you can enforce watermarking on all downloaded files or leave it up to the users if they want to apply a watermark on their content. You can also allow users to create their custom watermark or only allow them to choose from the default templates you have set up.
