Some streaming apps (like Spectrum TV) have built-in safety features to protect copyrighted material from piracy. These safety features may conflict with Victory Shield™ on iPhones and iPads.

Some streaming apps may produce black screenshots on your email Check-in or in the Victory app Activity Feed to protect copyrighted material.

Casting or Streaming with VPNs
