Private Mode
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 20 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.

- Click Private in the Library tab 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.
