Do we have to worry about Wistia video and audio media being blocked like content from other hosting services?
Other providers like YouTube and Vimeo can be blocked by offices, schools, etc, because the videos hosted on those platforms include “entertainment” content. Our customer’s focus is on business/marketing content, and because of this, Wistia is rarely blocklisted.
In situations where all video or audio content is blocked, regardless of source, allowlisting the following domains will ensure your Wistia content comes through:
*.wistia.com
fast.wistia.net
embed-fastly.wistia.com
embed-cloudfront.wistia.com
embedwistia-a.akamaihd.net
Tip
You can use Domain Restrictions to prevent a viewer from copying your video embed codes and pasting them on their domain. When Domain Restrictions is set up, the media in your account will only display on the domains you specify.
