You can protect your content so that it can only be watched by viewers who have been given the password for the broadcast or channel. You can distribute this password to your intended audience in a few different ways.
Note: When using this feature on a smart tv app (Apple TV, Roku), it will block the viewer from the content, but does not allow a way for them to enter a password. Instead, they will see a message telling them that this broadcast is password-protected, so it cannot be viewed within this app.
Configuring a Password For All Broadcasts on Your Account:
Log in to the BoxCast Dashboard.
Click on the Settings page, the Preferences tab, and click on Edit for Privacy and Security.
Check the Enable Password Protection option.
Type in the password you would like and click Save Changes.
Configuring a Password for a Channel:
Log in to the BoxCast Dashboard.
Click on the Channels, and then select the individual channel you would like to configure the password for, or create a new channel.
Click on the Edit Channel button.

Type in the password you would like and click Save Changes at the bottom of the window.
Configuring a Password For an Upcoming Broadcast:
Log in to the BoxCast Dashboard.
While scheduling your broadcast, scroll down to the Advanced section, and click on Privacy + Security. Click on the Enable Password Protection option and enter the password you would like to have for that broadcast.

Configuring a Password For a Past Broadcast:
Log in to the BoxCast Dashboard.
