Works on the video you already have. No re-encoding.

What it does

Selling access without a product build

Paid video usually means a membership site. A paywall on the video itself skips that project.

Preview then pay

Let viewers watch enough to want it, then ask — rather than charging before the value is visible.

No separate platform

The video you already host becomes the paid product, wherever it is embedded.

Access is tracked

You can see who paid, who watched, and how far they got.

In practice

What people put behind it

Content where the video is the product, not the marketing for it.

  • Paid courses and workshop recordings
  • Premium research briefings and industry sessions
  • Ticketed event replays sold after the fact

In depth

What is a video Paywall?

A video paywall is a mechanism used by content creators to restrict access to their premium video content. In other words, it is a way to monetize video content by requiring viewers to pay a fee to access it.

Video paywalls are often used as a way to generate revenue and recoup production costs, or providing premium experiences for VIP viewers.

Finally, head over to a video and click Settings and head to the Monetization tab. Here, you can set the price of your video as well as when a viewer should have to pay, either before the video plays or at a specific time.

That's it, you're done! Share your new video and watch the sales come in with the Mindstamp paywall feature.

What gets measured

Every use of it is reported

Reported per viewer
Every use of this interaction is recorded against the person, not the play.
Placed to the second

Open a Calendly or HubSpot calendar as an interaction, so the meeting is taken at the moment the buyer decides.

Open links

Open any URL from a button or hotspot in the video — in a new tab, the same tab, or an overlay — without ending playback.

Explore →

Start email

Let a viewer start an email to your team from inside the video, with the subject and recipient already set.

Questions

What teams ask about video paywall

Can viewers watch part of it first?

Yes. Place the paywall partway in so the preview does the selling.

Do I need my own membership system?

No. The paywall sits on the video, so the video can be sold wherever it is already embedded.
