ScreenCloud uses an API from streaming service providers to display media to your digital screens. Any restrictions placed on the videos are at the discretion of media providers and copyright laws, and are not controlled by ScreenCloud. If you’ve purchased or rented content from a streaming provider (i.e. movies, tv-series, etc) this content is restricted behind a paywall and login credentials for your account to access the service. For instance, if you’ve purchased a movie to watch on YouTube, then you can only watch the video by logging into your YouTube account. Please note, even though you’ve purchased the content, it’s not intended for marketing, distribution, or commercial purposes and only for personal viewing per the discretion of general copyright laws to protect creators and owners of media content.

This is typically enforced by what is known as the “DMCA” (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) meant to protect the intellectual property of others and protect the use of copyrighted material.

At this time, as ScreenCloud is non-affiliated and considered third-party to streaming services, we can advise to only use the streaming apps available as intended which are for public use. For example, this means using content that is publicly available and has no restrictions set by the creator, account owner, video owner, or has any copyright restrictions which would disable it from being used in third-party platforms.
