I was trying to watch konosuba on crunchyroll and when i opened it on my brave a pop up showed up that i need to have some drm software and whetewer i allow it. i did clik allow and it didint work either way so i watched it on Firefox and there is a thing saying that this thing is drm protected.

Soooo whats the point of this ? Is it supposed to stop you from pirating the content from their sites . If so how exatcly when you can just literaly record screen ? I honestly struggle to understand the purpose of this. Not sure if thats correct community to ask about it but it seems like you guys might know about this

This kind of content typically shows up as a blank rectangle on any kind of remote access software

I assumed it was the same DRM that Zoom uses, and the rdp method works for screen recording meetings.

I didn't think zoom had any DRM out of the box tbh, I've never had any issue screen recording a meeting on my Mac at least

But yeah any DRM video on the web will use widevine, so will have the same result of the blank rectangle if the DRM doesn't pass its checks
