H5P link is publicly accessible

Thank you for the new H5P integration, it is a great start. In our testing we found that the link created to be shared with H5P is publicly accessible via a browser. This is not made clear when the link is created and could lead to videos that we want to remain private (or locked to institution) are now exposed to those outside of the organisation.
In the short term I think it needs to be made clear that the link has public access so users are aware.
Long term we would want to see some level of security built into the link sharing, i.e. authentication of the viewer, or restrictions that the link can only be viewed within the H5P player.

I notice that when sharing a link and using the public switch, the URL clearly changes:
From: https://echo360.net.au/media/xxxxx (not public)
To: https://echo360.net.au/public/media/xxxxx (public)
Where as the H5P URL looks like a non-public link:
https://echo360.net.au/media/xxxxxx
I think this may also generate some confusion as to the links privacy status.
Although much of the support material mentions that this is a public H5P link, it may be helpful to clarify this at the point of link creation or copying on the UI where this occurs.
