This guide provides step-by-step instructions on integrating Widevine with HTML5 video players. Widevine ensures secure playback and decryption of encrypted videos through the configuration of license server URLs.

What you'll need

Before you dive in, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

• A bunny.net account ( Log in or sign up for a free trial).
