Securing the Training Videos

Disclaimers in Advance: Yes, I know that nothing can be totally secured. Yep, we're not trying to do anything overly complicated here. No, we're not going to disable right click.

Now for the actual question, ready?

It's about video. So... here's a video! .....about video! *http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/coQ0DDfMoJ *

Basically, how does TTH tokenize those videos so that they are only accessible to those with the token?

Annoying tags are awarded to: Zac Gordon Hampton Paulk

Using Woo's Sensei, we're tasked with creating tuts / training videos. The scenario isn't so dire that the videos be hidden from the friggin' NSA. But, much like TTH's vids, it'd be nice if the vids had that "token action" going on. Basically (from what I understand) is that somehow we should pull a ____(something)_____ from is_user_logged_in and create _______(something else)_______ that will magiliciously pull the video off the S3 storage and give 'em access. Now... to fill in all those blank somethings and turn that scenario into code is ....well... it sounds like a good training opportunity. (or it's another opportunity to give my money to codeable.io but that's getting old) So, is there any way we can get a training vidoe on this?

Thanks!

Probably won't cover in any videos, but a good question and task to tackle.
