Embed a video using an iframe, but prevent downloading
Hello everyone.
This is my issue:
When I embed a video (stored in my Dropbox Essentials account) using an iframe like this (changing "&dl=0" to "&raw=1"):
<p><iframe src="xxxxxxx" width="560" height="315" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
The video is playable if there are no restrictions applied (neither password nor download restriction).
My goal is to offer the video playback on my website, but prevent users from downloading it.
Is this possible?
Thanks

Hello Hannah!
Thank you for replying.
Yes, the website does not show the video, it shows an error like this:
But, when I go back to the sharing options and remove all the restrictions, the video appears and is ready to be played.
I hope you can help me.
Best.
