Current Behavior: When a form is added to a video, a black overlay is automatically applied over the video background. Issue: The overlay can significantly reduce the visibility of the video content behind the form and may not align with the desired branding or user experience. Requested Enhancement: Provide an option to: Disable the black overlay completely, or Customize the overlay color and opacity Expected Benefit: This would give users greater control over the appearance of video forms and allow them to create a more seamless and visually appealing viewing experience while maintaining form readability.

Allow enforcing of widevine Level 1 (hardware TEE) vs the current Level 3 (software) on a per video or player level. Widevine is already in place but screen recording can still happen easily with Level 3. Allowing the use of Level 1 protection, per video, gives proper protection like those used by Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon. This will raise the trust and security for Gumlet.

Problem 1: Download button is too hidden & technical issues in the review window The download button is difficult to find since it is hidden within the player settings. Clients expect an easily visible button directly below the video player (as seen on Vimeo / Frameio). In addition, the download button in the review window sometimes does not work at all: In Arc and Safari browsers, downloading simply does not start, which is highly problematic in professional contexts. Problem 2: No option to choose the download format Currently, only the automatically generated MP4 video can be downloaded. However, in professional film production, custom versions of the files are often needed—such as differently compressed versions or files prepared for specific purposes like online use or events. It should be possible to offer the original file (as we have prepared and compressed it) for download. In its current form, the download function is therefore hardly usable for professionals. I understand that Gumlet primarily work with processed files to save storage space. However, would it be possible to allow original files to be retained for selected clips—or to give the option to upload the original file in addition to the processed one? For example, the original file could be made available for download for a defined period, such as one month. Problem 3: Missing Option to Enable/Disable Download Button per Video Currently, the download option can only be activated globally in the player settings for the entire collection. This means that either all videos in a collection can be downloaded — or none at all. Typically, a separate collection is created for each client, within which there are different versions (drafts, revisions, final videos). It must be possible to enable downloads only for the final, approved video, but not for unfinished drafts or sensitive content. This is particularly critical for portfolio use: If I want to embed a client’s video on my public portfolio page, users should, for data protection and copyright reasons, not be able to download that video. Feature suggestion: Clearly visible download button beneath each video player. Download can be controlled individually for each video—not just globally for a collection. Option to allow download of the original (non-processed) file. Download must work reliably across browsers.

Currently the download button can only be enabled globally in the player settings. This means either all videos are downloadable or none. It would be very helpful to enable or disable the download button per individual video. Use case: Sometimes I want a client to download a specific video (for example when delivering the final project). However, during the production process there are multiple intermediate versions of the same video that should not be downloadable. Also, when I embed the final videos from that same client on my own website, I don't want people (not the client) to be able to download them.

Hello team, It's great that you've integrated the form directly into the video – that's a really powerful feature! However, what's currently missing is the option to check a box, for example to subscribe to the newsletter. This is mandatory under data protection law (GDPR) and must be implemented accordingly. Please add a checkbox that users can actively agree to. Thank you very much!

Gumlet's lack of spending limits is a security risk because video bandwidth is an attacker-controllable resource. Anyone who can reach a video URL — through hotlinking, scraping, denial-of-wallet attacks, leaked signed URLs, or even a buggy player in your own code — can spend your money, with no upper bound. The attacker's cost per gigabyte is near zero while yours is the full overage rate, which creates a structural asymmetry: there is no authentication to bypass, no vulnerability to exploit, just playback. Gumlet's stated mitigations — bandwidth alerts and the eventual fail-stop when a payment fails — are not equivalent to a real cap. Alerts depend on a human responding in time, and the payment-failure stop only kicks in after an invoice already exists and a charge has failed. Neither protects you from owing the money. This matters most for small customers, who have no procurement leverage to negotiate write-offs and no operational maturity to monitor and respond at attack speed. A true spending limit would operate at the resource layer, letting the customer choose to go dark rather than be billed for unbounded usage — a tradeoff Bunny Stream and Cloudflare Stream already offer. Until Gumlet provides one, partial mitigations help but do not close the gap: lock down videos with signed URLs and domain restrictions, set aggressive low-threshold alerts paired with paging rather than email, and consider putting a low-limit virtual card on file as a soft ceiling. For anyone whose business cannot absorb a surprise five-figure invoice, the absence of a cap is a real exposure that deserves to be weighed when choosing a video provider.

Right now only individual videos can be embedded to external website pages. It would be nice to have this feature so we dont have to embed individual URLs on html page of our selection.

If Gumlet can automatically import YouTube videos to their CMS, that will allow creators like me to switch to Gumlet.
