The short answerUnlisted YouTube or Vimeo links can be shared by anyone who has them. For paid lessons, put videos behind your members' login, so only paying members can watch, and they stay in your own storage.
Why unlisted links leak
- Anyone with the link can watch, and links get shared.
- Your lessons sit next to other channels' videos and ads.
- If the account has a problem, your course goes with it.
Better options
- A course platform's built-in video, behind the member login.
- Paid video hosting (with domain restrictions), embedded in your members area.
- Your own storage, served only to signed-in members.
What good private hosting gives you
- Only paying members can play the video.
- It plays well on phones and slow connections.
- Captions and a transcript under the video.
- Members' progress saved where they left off.
In a Deedmade™ platform, you upload lessons from your phone or computer; they're stored in your own Cloudflare account and play only for signed-in members, with captions written for you.
