How can I prevent outsiders from downloading or viewing video from the server?
Hello everyone! There are special programs that allow you to download videos from YouTube, and so, I want to avoid this in my program (I am making a program for android and I need people sitting only from it to be able to watch the video). Can this be done using nginx?

You can stream video through a media server without buffering. But this is a separate and rather significant hemorrhoids. And so, even such a video can be recorded on a camera, for example, so this will not save.
Whatever you do, in the end, the thief will only need to record the screen in which the browser with your video is running.
At most you can complicate the life of a thief, but your efforts will be at least more expensive ... so think about whether the game is worth the candle.
At the moment, DRM technologies are trying to solve your problem, and they are very bad friends with the web (usually they force the user to install applications and plug-ins, and users do not like it), usually solutions are walking around non-standard codecs and applications that control video playback and data copying (rudiments there is even in the hardware, the same hdmi, although it was hacked a long time ago).
