Secure Embedding & Monetization of Your 360 Content

You create valuable content with SeekBeak. Now, you have even more control over who sees it and how they access it.

When password protection just isn't enough, SeekBeak allows you to specify a whitelist of allowed referrers for Groups, a feature located under the More menu option when editing a Group. We call this feature:

Allowed Referrer Domains

How it Works: Content Access on Your Terms

With Allowed Referrers, any content within that Group will only be visible when:

  • Embedded inside a defined domain
  • Accessed from a link on a specified domain

Once set up, your content is no longer publicly available! Anyone attempting to access the content directly (e.g., by copying and pasting the link) will either receive a "404 - Not Found" error or be redirected to a URL of your choosing.

Perfect For:

  • Corporate CMS Integration: Securely deliver internal documents, content, or training materials directly within your company's intranet.
  • Paywalled Content: Protect premium content and ensure only paying subscribers can view it.
  • Educational Institutions (LMS): Restrict access to course materials to students logged into your Learning Management System.
  • Art Galleries & Museums: Showcase exclusive content on your website, enhancing the visitor experience.
  • Custom Integration: Control access from any web application you build or use!
  • And Much More! The possibilities are endless – control access wherever your content is displayed.

Enhanced Privacy and Robust Security

Stop worrying about unauthorized access! Simply whitelist the domains where approved embeds/clicks will originate, and SeekBeak automatically blocks everyone else—even if they have a direct link or embed code.

This update provides:

  • Enhanced security for paid content
  • Restricted access to specific websites
  • Safeguarding of sensitive internal information
  • Content control beyond traditional password protection

This setup is great, but managing referrers across many Groups can be time-consuming. That’s why we created:

Referrer Templates

Referrer Templates let you:

  • Quickly Add & Manage Domains: Define a set of allowed referrers once and apply it to multiple Groups.
  • Centralized Control: Easily update or remove referrers across all associated Groups with a single change.
  • Streamlined Workflow: Avoid repetitive configuration for each individual Group.

When a Snap Group uses a Referrer Template:

  • If a Redirect URL is set, viewers from non-allowed domains will be redirected to that URL.
  • If no Redirect URL is set, viewers from non-allowed domains will receive a "404 - Not Found" error.

SeekBeak’s referrer controls provide enhanced security for your paid content, robust access restrictions, and unparalleled control over where and how your content is viewed.
