You can sell access to your on demand videos in a few ways:

Collections are ideal if you'd like you're customers to be able to pick and choose from all videos within a collection, in any order they choose. Collections also have a 'scheduled go live' or 'drop' date feature, where you can schedule video debuts.

Courses allow you extra control over the order in which the videos are watched, require a little extra setup to make this possible.

In summary, creating an on-demand subscription isn't required but allows your customers to have an easy one time purchase that continues to give them access to the things they want to view.

On demand content allows your customers to watch videos, listen to audio files, view pdfs, or take a quiz (a questionnaire). Its most commonly used with videos and allows you to monetize work you've already done (ie. if you've already taught a class and recorded it, why not let that class continue to bring you new revenue).

Save your videos in an MP4 format before uploading them. 1080p is an ideal quality. It's the highest we support when optimizing videos, and the highest quality while being the most compatible in terms of devices and internet speed connections.

To get started with uploading videos enable On Demand Content in the Apps Store by clicking Apps and Integrations.

On-demand subscriptions give customers paid access to on demand content (usually videos). The videos can be organized into two formats: collections or courses.

Whats the difference?

On-demand subscriptions can include both collections and courses.

To set this up, first, create your collections (or courses). Note that collections require less setup and are a faster way to get your content uploaded.

Next, create your On-Demand Subscription.
