# Adding a Watermark to Videos
Adding a watermark to videos can prevent unauthorized use and copying of your content. Not only does watermarking secure your assets, but also helps increase brand recognition. By securing your assets with watermarks, you are reducing the risk of revenue loss as well.
This feature is enabled on the site level. Once you have chosen a site, click on the cogwheel button right next to the site's name and navigate to the *Watermark section*.
Click on the *Upload watermark image* button and select a *.png or .tga* image.
You have the option to adjust the opacity of the watermark - range from 0 to 100.
The watermark can appear in the bottom left, top left, bottom right or bottom left corner of the player - select the position from the drop-down menu.
Once the watermark image is uploaded, the *Preview watermark* button will appear, enabling you to validate the settings.
The predefined watermark will be displayed during the playback of your videos.
On the video upload page, you will be required to select whether or not to add a watermark to a specific video.
All available video renditions will be encoded with the predetermined watermark.
