Video Hosting

How to upload video, how it streams, and how fans download it.


Supported Formats

Any modern browser-supported video format. Most creators upload:

FormatExtensionNotes
MP4 (H.264 / H.265).mp4Most widely compatible
WebM (VP9).webmOpen codec, good compression
QuickTime.movAccepted; some browsers transcode on download

Files are stored as-is. The in-browser player streams whatever you upload, so encode for the browser you want to reach.


Streaming

Video items get a built-in HTML5 player with the cover image as the poster frame. No app required, no third-party embed. Streaming preloads metadata only — full bytes load as the viewer plays.

Live streaming is on the roadmap.


File Limits

Per-file size limits depend on your pricing tier: 10MB (Basic), 500MB (Small Files), 20GB (Big Files and Everything). Cover images: 10MB on all tiers.

Most full-length video uploads will need Big Files or Everything.


Upload Process

  1. Drag the video file onto the upload area (or click to browse)
  2. Upload runs with a progress indicator
  3. Add metadata while uploading or after
  4. Set a cover image (used as the poster frame and OG card)
  5. Set tags, pricing, visibility
  6. Save as draft or publish immediately

Metadata

Required: Title

Optional: Description, tags, release date, credits/collaborators, cover image

Auto-extracted: Duration


Downloads

Fans who purchase the item or subscribe to a tier can download the original file directly. No DRM, no device tracking, no per-download fees. Re-downloads allowed anytime.

To offer multiple resolutions or formats, upload them as separate versions of the same item.
