This documentation is for reference only. We are no longer onboarding new customers to Programmable Video. Existing customers can continue to use the product until December 5, 2026.
We recommend migrating your application to the API provided by our preferred video partner, Zoom. We've prepared this migration guide to assist you in minimizing any service disruption.
This feature is only available through Twilio Enterprise Edition or Security Edition. For further information, contact the Twilio sales team.
The Twilio Composition Settings REST API lets you configure Twilio to store your compositions encrypted. Composition Settings work per-account (i.e. project). If you activate encryption, all Video Compositions in your account (or project) will get encrypted.
This document contains reference information about the Composition Settings REST API for encryption. For a step-by-step guide, you can also read the Encrypting your Stored Media developer guide
