I want to prevent access to a playlist of videos for people who don’t pay and show it just to authenticated and paid users. I don’t know how I can get access to videos in private storage without making them public, I’ve tried some code but it didn’t work. here’s my code :

storage folder

Route:
Route::get('storage/uploads/videos/{video}', [PrivateController::class, 'get'])->name("getVideo");

Controller:

class PrivateController extends Controller
{
    public function get($video) {

        $video = Storage::disk('private')->get("/videos/". $video);
        $response = Response::make($video, 200);
        $response->header('Content-Type', 'video/mp4');
        
        return $response;

    }
}

I get null when I dump and die this line :
$video = Storage::disk('private')->get("/videos/". $video);

I’ve tried some code but it didn’t work

        $video = Storage::disk('private')->get("/videos/". $video);
        $response = Response::make($video, 200);
        $response->header('Content-Type', 'video/mp4');
        
        return $response;
