# Geo-restrictions | ||
|
||
This feature enables you to control exactly where your video content can be accessed, allowing better compliance and enabling targeted content delivery. Next to [domain referrer restrictions](/delivery/domain-referrer) and [private videos](/delivery/video-privacy-access-management), geographic restrictions add another layer that helps you manage and protect your video content. | ||
|
||
## How it works | ||
|
||
You define a list of countries where users should be allowed to access your content. api.video then creates a whitelist that allows video delivery only for viewers in the countries on your list. | ||
|
||
<Callout pad="2" type="info"> | ||
The whitelist grants access only to those countries that are on the list. Every other country is restricted. | ||
</Callout> | ||
|
||
Viewers who try to access your content from restricted locations will see an error message in the video player. Direct URLs that point to video assets will return `403 - Forbidden`. | ||
|
||
## Request access | ||
|
||
To apply geo-restrictions, get in touch with our support team directly via the chat box, or send your request [via email](mailto:[email protected]). | ||
|
||
Make sure you provide these details: | ||
|
||
* the projects where you want to apply geo-restrictions | ||
* a list of countries where you want to allow access to your videos, for each affected project | ||
|
||
<Callout pad="2" type="info"> | ||
Geo-restrictions work on a project-level. This means that the restriction applies to every video in a project. | ||
</Callout> | ||
|
||
## Implementation | ||
|
||
Our team first confirms the countries and projects where you want to apply geo-restrictions. Implementation is quick, and we will inform you when the restrictions are in place. |
