Video files shared for viewing only cannot be played

When I share a video file with someone, I only want him to watch the video and don’t want him to download it. I choose read-only, but the other party cannot watch the video online.

Can you do a test video? share it here?

Mine says view only but i wonder what it does : Test video to catch bugs

It actually shows a download button on my video also top right. Used a different browser and even though the file is set to view only it still shows the download button…?

If you share a video with someone and set it to view only, they will check the option to allow downloading by default. I set the custom permission to read only. In theory, read only means that you can only view but not download, including documents and videos. But in fact, if you set the custom permission of video file to read only, then others cannot watch this video online.

I think this is a bug, it happens in all versions, hope you can fix it.
