Build a Video Membership Site With Free Video Hosting On YouTube

[@KadvaKorp]

Good info. Thanks

Hi @KadvaKorp. We are so glad this video was useful to you. Thank you for the feedback!

I see a couple of potential issues with this approach: YT may inject Ads into the videos, and users cannot download the videos. So if they are paying to watch them it could be a problem for the customers. Also, I can't see YT supporting this form of usage long term if they are not making money from it.

Hi @CodingSync. This is just one method our users can add to their site to build a member-only video site. Check out our blog post with other methods. www.paidmembershipspro.com/sell-videos-online/

This is quite good, but how do we stop people from getting the url and pass it on to others?

[@StrangerStudios]

Hi @Gabo135790. That is the caveat to using KZbin for video hosting when we want the video to be for members-only. At PMPro, we lock down our member-only videos using Bunny.net www.paidmembershipspro.com/restrict-videos-bunny-net-presto-player/

Thanks for the video - quick question, if someone copies the URL for the unlisted video are they allowed to share it with other people? I'm considering creating a members only website but also want to make sure that content is completely protected. thanks!

[@StrangerStudios]

Hi Michael. If the video is unlisted and someone does have the link, they could share it with other people. We have a live stream this Thursday (1/5) at 2 PM Eastern on restricting member-only video. Please join us! www.paidmembershipspro.com/live

thank you for the video! I have active youtube membership on my channel. I would like to replicate a similar membership model on my website . I wanted to know if this way of embedding works for the youtube members only videos ?

[@StrangerStudios]

Hi Amrit. Yes, this would be a great video to follow to have member-only video. Here is also a link to a blog post on How to Restrict Anything in WordPress. www.paidmembershipspro.com/restrict-access-wordpress/#h-video

[@speedtalktv]

can you use this model for live videos as well?

[@StrangerStudios]

Hi SpeedTalkTV! You could do this with bunny.net or Vimeo. You may have to combine Zoom with Vimeo to restrict the access but there are ways to accomplish this.
