I am planning to use Vimeo for hosting my educational video series which I want to restrict specific videos to specific user as per what plan / course they have purchased.
After lots of googling, I came across one option in Vimeo to set "domain-level embed privacy" so that only from my site video will be played.
But what if someone inspect webpage and change video url which is private?
Vimeo forum relevent link : https://vimeo.com/forums/api/topic:277888
is there any way to handle this as if someone tried many url changes then he can see video from my website even if I have set them private and domain level security.
In near future, I want to use same in my android app as well so that logged in user can see videos they allowed.
Thanks in advance. Can someone guide me for this usecase?

if you are a Plus user or have a higher-tier paid subscription, go to your video settings and select “Only people with the link or embed code can access.” Or, select this option when you're uploading. 2. Once you save your changes, you'll be given a private URL or embed code to copy and send to people you choose.
Private means that only you (and members of your team) can see your video. Password will allow you to add a password for viewers to gain access to your video, including Vimeo and non-Vimeo members.
For added security, you can lock your videos with a password. You can also specify which websites have permissions to embed your videos. It gives me peace of mind to know that my work is protected, but when someone opens it up, it looks like a fresh, finished piece rather than a rough cut.
But what if someone inspects the webpage and changes the video url which is private?
If someone inspects the webpage and changes the video url then the change will be local to their system and temporary. As they refresh page it will revert back to original. No website on earth can stop this from happening.

Domain level security as far as I understand means that you can embed video on a website on a particular domain only such as - yourdomain.com. Changing the url of embedded video will not load any video as video is hosted on provided url only.
In near future, I want to use same in my android app as well so that logged in user can see videos they allowed.
In an android app you can load your page in a webview or inappbrowser. And on a website you can make certain pages accessible to authenticated user only. On top of that you can also implement record level security, so that a particular course is accessible only to people with subscription to that course.
