Play for legal teams: knowing which version was approved and which one went out

The risk is not reviewing badly. It is signing off on one cut and another one publishing. Here every approval is anchored to a specific version, with author and date.

LITE plan free forever. Legal joins as a collaborator, without taking a licence.

Who this page is for

This page is for whoever reviews video content before it publishes: legal counsel, compliance or risk. The role's problem is not the reviewing, it is the absence of a record: a cut gets approved by email and a different one publishes, and the image releases and music rights live outside the project. Play Platform anchors every approval to a specific version, with author and date, and keeps rights and releases next to the material. You can join free as a collaborator without taking a licence.

What worries legal when there is video involved

Everything that follows has the same root: the review happens outside the place the piece lives.

One version is approved and another publishes

Sign-off is given by email against a link. Three more changes get made afterwards and nobody asks again. What published is no longer what was reviewed, and there is no way to show what was approved.

Every approval anchored to a specific version, with author, date and timestamp.

The rights are not where the video is

Image releases, music licences and location permissions end up in a folder of PDFs separate from the material. Checking before reusing costs more than not checking.

Agreements, rights and releases centralised on the project record.

The review arrives late and in a hurry

Legal receives the piece once media has been bought and there is a publication date. What would have been a reasonable observation becomes a costly blocker.

Legal inside the project from the brief, seeing the versions as they are produced.

Nobody knows what published, or where

When a complaint arrives, reconstructing which piece went out, on which channel and with what wording means asking three people and searching through expired links.

How Play fits the review circuit

Play is a Production-Tech company: software and a production team in the same house. For this role what matters is the software and, above all, where the record ends up.

Way 1

Platform only

The team produces as it always has, and legal comes into the workspace to review, without taking a licence and with the version history in front of them.

  • Briefs, tasks and a production calendar
  • Media library with AI tagging
  • Videofeedback and approvals by version
  • Unlimited external collaborators

Free on the LITE plan

See Play Platform
Way 2

Production only, as and when you need it

When PLAY /Services produces, the approval circuit is the same and the releases are handled inside the project.

  • End-to-end production with an Account Manager
  • Creative, shooting and post-production
  • Local talent in whichever market it takes
  • A fixed quote per project

Per project, on a transparent rate card

See PLAY /Services
Way 3

Everything together, one partner

Production and review happen in the same system, so what was approved and what published are the same version by construction.

  • Everything in way 1 and way 2
  • Platform included at no cost with the services
  • Cost and status traceable in the same place
  • A flat production discount on the Enterprise plan

Platform included, production per project

Talk to the team

The three ways are doors into the same place, and you can move between them without migrating anything. Most teams start at way 1 or way 2 and end up at way 3 once the content volume grows.

What you get from each part

What legal cares about in this tool.

Approval anchored to the version

Sign-off is not given against a stray link but against a specific cut that stays identified in the history.

Comments with author and date

Every observation is anchored to a second of a version, with who made it and when. Reconstructing the reasoning stops depending on memory.

Rights and releases in the project

Image authorisations, music licences and location permissions live next to the material they refer to.

Role-based permissions

Who sees what inside the workspace, with expiring review links and an activity log.

Access without a licence

Legal joins as an external collaborator, unlimited on every plan, so taking part in the circuit does not depend on the software budget.

Hosted in the EU

Files on EU servers, encrypted in transit and at rest, with the GDPR, a signed DPA and regular backups.

Releases handled during production

When we shoot, the authorisations from everyone who appears are collected and stored in the project itself.

Creative direction in a measured tone

Scripts built to pass review without being emptied out, particularly in regulated sectors.

A single Account Manager

One identified contact throughout the project, and the person to go to if something does not add up.

A transparent rate card

A fixed quote with a breakdown, useful when the contract requires the spend to be justified.

Brief to publication in four steps

The flow is the same whether you produce or we do. The only thing that changes is who carries out step 3.

  1. You say what you need

    You open the project and describe the need. KAMI AI helps turn it into a structured brief, with formats, markets and dates, so that everyone is working from the same thing.

  2. You settle scope, cost and who does it

    This is where you pick a way: your team produces it, your agency does, or PLAY /Services does with local talent. If you commission it from us, you get a fixed quote on a transparent rate card before anything starts.

  3. It gets produced and approved inside the platform

    Shoot, edit and versions in the same project. Approvals happen through videofeedback and public links, with no email chains. If PLAY produces, your Account Manager oversees every stage.

  4. It is delivered, and it stays

    The finished piece and the raw footage stay in your library, tagged and ready to reuse on the next campaign.

What it costs

Legal does not need a plan of its own: it joins as an external collaborator, and those are unlimited on every plan. The cost sits with the team that produces.

If you produce with us, the platform costs you nothing

Access to Play Platform is included at no cost with every PLAY video production service. In other words: you can come in through the platform door and pay only for the software, or come in through the production door and take the software with it.

Annual billing works out at 10 months. Extra storage at 29 €/TB per month. If your access policy requires SSO or SAML, the plan is Enterprise: it is the only one that includes them, alongside an SLA and migration. On LITE and PRO the authentication is the platform's own. See the full plan comparison.

Frequently asked questions about Play for legal teams

How do I know exactly which version was approved?

Because the approval is given against a specific version and stays identified in the piece's history, with author and date. If changes are made afterwards, they become a new version that does not inherit the previous sign-off.

Where are the image releases and licences kept?

On the project record, next to the material they refer to. Checking whether a take can be reused stops meaning searching a different folder.

Can I join without it costing a licence?

Yes. External collaborators are unlimited on LITE, PRO and Enterprise, so legal takes part in the circuit without consuming software budget. Only the producing team's internal users are counted.

Are the files secure?

Yes. They are hosted on EU servers, encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Only authorised people get in: role-based permissions, expiring review links and an activity log. The GDPR is complied with and a DPA is signed with every client, with regular backups.

Is there SSO and SAML?

Yes, on the Enterprise plan, alongside an SLA and migration included. On LITE and PRO the authentication is the platform's own.

Can I review before there is a publication date?

That is the idea. Being inside the project from the brief, legal sees the versions as they are produced, rather than receiving the piece once media has been bought and the observation becomes a blocker.

How do I answer a complaint about an old piece?

With the project's version and comment history, and with the final master in the library, tagged and findable. The reconstruction stops depending on asking three people.
