Use domain controls when you want to decide which websites can play an embedded video. You can follow your organization’s rules or create a rule for one video only.

## Where to find it

Open the video you want to protect and select **Segurança** in the **Distribuição & dados** group in the editor navigation. On desktop, the navigation is in the sidebar; on mobile, it appears as a horizontal tab strip.

## Use your organization’s rules

By default, a video uses your organization’s **Padrões › Segurança** settings. While **Usando padrão da organização** is enabled, the video’s lists are view-only.

To create an exception for this video, turn off **Usar padrão da organização**. The page will show **Override específico deste vídeo**: your changes will affect this video only.

## Allow only your websites

In **Controle de acesso por domínio**, add addresses under **Domínios permitidos**. You can enter a domain such as `example.com`, or use a subdomain wildcard such as `*.example.com`.

Leave the list empty if you do not want to limit embeds through this list. In that case, every domain remains allowed except those on the block list.

## Block a specific domain

Add an address under **Lista de bloqueio** when you want to prevent that website from embedding the video. The block list takes priority over the allowed-domain list. If the same domain appears in both lists, it is blocked.

## Block direct URL access

Enable **Bloquear acesso direto via URL** to allow playback only when the video is embedded on authorized websites. This is useful when you do not want someone to open the player URL directly in a browser.

## Before sharing

Test the page where the video is embedded after changing the rules. If you created a video-specific rule, make sure **Usar padrão da organização** is still off; enabling it again returns the video to your organization’s rules.
