Enable video streaming/viewing
Which plan do I need?
You will need the Premium plan to use video streaming.
Video streaming
Our new video streaming feature gives your store the ability to allow customers to view video files in their browser without needing to download the files. It's also possible to disable the download button so that you only allow them to view the files. This works from the download page.
You will need to enable the "Download button & page" option to use this feature because the customer will press the play button on the download page. Check if you have it enabled.
Go to Settings > Global Media Viewing
Enable the "Enable video streaming for all videos in your account" option to enable video viewing

Disabling the download button for video files
It's possible to hide the download button for all videos that are enabled for streaming so that only a play button is displayed. You can do this by enabling the "Disable the download button" setting on the Global Media Preview settings page.
