Video hosting for course creators who need reliable paid lesson delivery

Course creators usually outgrow generic storage when they start selling access at scale. You need HLS playback that feels stable to students, private delivery for paid content, and a setup that still works when your catalog grows from one course to many.

What buyers care about

The buying criteria are usually the same

For course creators, the decision is less about raw storage and more about whether students can watch smoothly, whether paid content stays protected, and whether the delivery stack will survive your next launch.

Student experience

Playback needs to work well on laptops, tablets, and phones without turning lessons into support tickets.

Protected access

Paid videos should live behind a delivery model that respects enrollment, memberships, and private lesson flows.

Scalable catalog

Your first course is not the problem. The real test is whether the same setup still works when you launch the fifth.

Recommended path

Start with a free test, then activate the right plan

1. Upload a sample lesson

Use the free tier to test upload, poster generation, embeds, and viewing quality in your real lesson pages.

2. Validate student playback

Check desktop and mobile playback before you move live students or launch a new cohort.

3. Upgrade for production

Top up the wallet and activate the plan that matches your catalog size when you are ready for real customers.
