Test an LMS's video security yourself during the trial: screenshots, recording, forwarded links, extra devices and downloads on every device, then check that a leaked copy can be traced.
A secure video player controls who can watch, on which device and for how long, and makes every copy traceable. Hiding the download button is not security; what happens behind play is.
In Safari, FairPlay-protected video usually records as black on a Mac; in Chrome or Firefox, DRM runs in software and may not. Mac apps have no supported block, and nothing stops a phone camera.
Sometimes. Hardware-backed DRM on Windows usually turns recordings black, but browser DRM often runs in software, and nothing stops a phone camera, a capture device or a shared login.
Chrome and Firefox use Google's Widevine, which on most desktops runs in software, so keys and frames are easier to reach. Even at its best, browser DRM can't stop cameras or shared logins.
Most recorders that capture browser DRM video don't break it, because on most desktops it runs in software. Others work outside the protected path. Here are the categories and the layers that stop them.
Understand camera recording of paid classes, visible watermarks and how to evaluate detection claims, platform coverage and false positives.
