I have a link but I only want logged in users to be able to access it in my event app? (CME / Live Stream Video / OnDemand)

If you have a single link to a non-vimeo live stream for example, you can control its access to logged in users only by following the steps below. 

If you have a variety of individual live stream or on demand vimeo links, contact your project manager for setup options. Advanced controls and display options may be available for your event app. 

How to set up a single link that only logged in users can access

1. Create a Google sheet with the following 6 columns and labeled exactly as follows: 
   1. ID
      1. come up with a unique ID that does not yet exist in your entire project e.g. livestream
   2. Title
      1. Enter a title such as Keynote Live Stream 
   3. Subtitle
      1. Enter a brief subtitle such as Internet access required
   4. Type
      1. enter exactly: sso/html
   5. URL
      1. the streaming URL starting with https:// - ensure you test your URL to open the streaming website. Before the stream starts, the website should have sufficient information that the stream has not yet started. 
   6. Start
      1. this field is optional but allows you to embargo accessing the link - it's still available but not clickable. This is a date time field in this format: 11/20/2025 4:00:00 (in Google Sheets > Format > Number > Date Time) 
   7. Generate the CSV link for this worksheet
2. In the App Builder, navigate to Media > Media Data 
3. Click Add Import 
   1. Source Name: enter where the data is coming from e.g. Google Sheet
   2. Import Source Type: select CSV URL
   3. Click Next 
   4. Paste the CSV URL and click Next 
   5. The Mapping step should be auto mapping all the fields from your spreadsheet if you have labeled them correctly 
   6. Click Next 
4. Using the custom view builder to add a button that links to your one media item
   1. Design > Custom Views or Home Screens, depending on where you would like to add the button
   2. One you open the Custom View editor, drag a new button object from the left into the editor or duplicate an existing button. 
   3. Click the pencil icon to edit and use the ActionBuilder to set up a link to a single item > Media > the name of your media item
   4. Publish and test
