Objective
This article shows you how to turn on encryption for your video recordings or compositions, so the stored media is encrypted with a public key you provide and can only be decrypted by you.
Product
Programmable Video
Environment
Twilio Console
Procedure
- In the Twilio Console, select Communications in the left sidebar.
- Select Video, then Settings.
- Select the Recording settings tab to encrypt recordings, or the Composition settings tab to encrypt compositions.
- Under the encryption section, set Encryption to Enabled.
- Under Encryption credentials, choose your public key from Select your encryption credentials.
- Select Save. A confirmation appears once your settings have been updated.
Additional Information
- Encryption adds an extra level of security by encrypting your media with a public key that you provide. Only you, as the holder of the corresponding private key, can decrypt it, so keep that private key safe. Twilio cannot recover encrypted media for you.
- If Select your encryption credentials has no options, add a public key credential on the Video credentials tab first.
- Enabling encryption or external storage disables Compositions. The page warns you when your selection has that effect.
- The encryption settings are not available on every account. If you do not see them, they are not enabled for yours.
