Trying to get a Webm link, so that I would not be needing to authenticate and store the cookie

I have a valid Webm link which I am tryign to stream. What I had done is that I want this link to be available to a group of users, so that they would be able to access it, without the need to login to the system. 

 

Is there anyway, I can actually add the Authentication perspective on the URL, instead of on the cookie, so that I can make it work (like a shared link for users to view on their web browser)

  Hi Yongyan Foo,

  It's not possible to create a URL without the need for authentication.

  Authentication allows a server to verify a user's identity and ensure that they have the proper permissions to access the requested resource. Without proper authentication, it's possible for unauthorized users to gain access to sensitive information or resources.

  For this reason, users are required to use a user account with Bearer authentication or optional Digest authentication. Bearer authentication involves sending a token with each request to prove the user's identity, while Digest authentication requires a username and password for access.

  While it may seem inconvenient to require authentication for every URL, it's an essential security measure that helps keep user data safe. By using a trusted authentication method, users can rest assured that their information is being protected and that they're the only ones who can access it.
