GeoIp groups

GeoIP Groups are used for restricting an Asset or Livestream to specific countries. A GeoIP group can contain multiple countries. When a viewer is not from a country assosiated with the GeoIP group of the asset or livestream he will get a 404 error.

We have made some default groups for you to get you started. The default groups are the continents. You can change these groups, but we recommend to create a new GeoIP group if you need any changes.
