Can I make my downloaded videos private, so no one else can see them on my computer or devices?

Yes, if you have purchased RealPlayer 18 Plus, or have an active subscription to RealTimes Premium or Unlimited, you can make videos private when you download them with RealPlayer. To see and play these videos, you will need to enter a PIN (personal identification number). Note: Make sure you have updated to the latest version of RealPlayer Plus (18.1.5.694), released on August 31, 2016.

First-time Private Setup

Sign in with your paid (Plus, Premium, or Unlimited) account. Allow RealPlayer to update (if requested) and make sure that there's a star beside your username. Click Private in the sidebar to go to the Private view. Click Enter PIN. Fill out the form. The PIN needs to be between four and six numbers long. Your PIN will be ready to use. If the RealDownloader window is open, close it and reopen it to activate the Make Private buttons.
