How to disable downloading of audio and video from course pages

If you want to protect your intellectual property and prevent students from downloading the audio and video files of your courses, systeme.io offers a simple global setting that does exactly that.

Once enabled, students can still watch the videos and listen to the audios, but they will no longer be able to download the files to their devices.

Here is the complete guide.

1. Open your account settings

Log in to your systeme.io account.

Click on your profile picture (usually in the top-right corner) and select Settings.

2. Go to the Courses section

In the left sidebar of the settings page, click on Courses.

This is where you find global options that apply to all your classic courses.

3. Enable the protection option

Look for the checkbox labeled:

Disable downloading of audio and video from course pages

Check this box.

This single option will protect all the audio and video files used in your classic courses.

4. Save the changes

Click the Save button to apply the setting.

The protection is now active across your account.

Important notes

• This feature works only for classic courses. It does not apply to light courses.
• Students can still stream and watch the content normally. They simply lose the ability to download the files.
• The setting is global — once enabled, it applies to all classic courses in your account.
• It is a good additional layer of protection for your paid content, especially if you host valuable video lessons.

This option is perfect if you want to keep your course media exclusive to the platform and reduce the risk of content being shared outside of systeme.io.

Enable this option today if you want to keep tighter control over your media content and give your students a streaming-only experience.

It is a small but powerful feature that helps protect the value of the courses you create on systeme.io.
