Geo-Targeting
Geo-Targeting are a standard yet powerful feature that allows you to limit usage to specific regions. This is an important and sought-after feature especially for broadcasters who only hold rights to content in particular locations. Broadcasters can decide to restrict access to their premium content in specific countries. For example, if you want your Live PPV event or Subscription VOD's to be available only to US-based viewers, you can use the Geo restriction feature to set these parameters.
How to set it up
If you are using the Cleeng API to set up your offers, then please follow this link to our developers page that further explains how to geo-restrict your content. If you're using the Cleeng Application to set up your offers, then please follow the steps below:
