What is a watermark?
A watermark is a semi-transparent mark or logo overlaid on digital content, like images or videos, to identify the owner of the content and protect it from unauthorized use.
In addition to watermarking, we strongly encourage creators to take advantage of our Enhanced Video Security (DRM) feature to add additional security.
