Multimedia macro: Can I restrict downloading the media file with this macro?

Question

Hi Team,

I am using multimedia macro to view some MP4 videos in the docs. After inserting the media, I can see two options in the settings: Download and Picture in picture.

Is there a way to restrict downloading of the media?

Thanks,
Shweta

No.  Even if you hacked the macro code a bit, so that download disappeared, you can't stop someone downloading the file, as the data has to go to them for them to view it (or even if you got clever and streamed it, it's very easy to grab a stream)
