Video Stream Restriction

Hello, I noticed that video streaming is restricted on my website. I am experiencing this for the first time. The video is currently unwatchable. I have many websites, this is the first time I have experienced such a thing. I request you to fix the problem. I would appreciate it if you could tell me what I should do.

Same; the fix is something only you can do.

From the above doc, I found it by searching for cloudflare video streaming terms of use


If you are on a Free, Pro, or Business Plan and serving videos or a disproportionate amount of non-HTML content — such as software binaries or large volumes of images — in violation of Section 2.8 of the Self-Serve Subscription Agreement, Cloudflare may redirect your content to replacement videos and images. When this happens, you will receive an email notification with information about the zone violating the TOS. Please don’t try to evade the redirect; this may limit your ability to use Cloudflare at all in the future.

Options for web admins to remove redirects

  • Serve redirected content from a grey-clouded sub-domain
    • Section 2.8 of Cloudflare’s Self-Serve Terms of Service (TOS) prohibits users from serving a disproportionate amount of non-html content, such as images and video, without a paid plan that includes those services. Restrictions set forth in Section 2.8 of the TOS do not apply to content served from grey-clouded (non-proxied) sub-domains.

Thank you for the detailed information.

For 2 days, a heavy traffic request came to my website, the reasons of which I could not learn. as a result clouflare restricted video streaming. I understand this, however, while investigating the cause of this problem, the process returned to normal. The problems that would require restriction are now gone. I wanted to get help because the video streaming restriction is not automatically detected by Cloudflare systems or not. What can I do about it?
