Video Hosting for Content Creators

This is the narrow, useful half of a creator platform: your video hosted and delivered into pages, apps and products you already own, with the surrounding experience under your control rather than a feed's. The other half — how people pay you, how your community talks, what you sell — stays with you and your own systems. Knowing which half is which before you build is the point of this page.

Your audience, your page

The division of labour

Build video into the creator business you already run

Worth settling first, because the wrong assumption here is expensive to unwind later.

DynTube hosts your video and delivers it into surfaces you own — a page on your own site, a members' area, a product, an app. The context around the player is whatever you put there, because it is your page rather than a destination we run.

What does not move across is the commercial and social side of a creator business. Payments, subscriptions and memberships run in your own billing. Community — comments, discussion, messaging — lives wherever you already run it. Merchandise and other commerce stay in your store. We are not going to imply otherwise on a marketing page, because a creator who plans a launch around a capability that is not here loses more than a signup.

What you get

Four mechanisms, with their conditions

Each stated at the boundary it really has rather than as a feature bullet.

  • Delivery into your own surfaces

    Embed the video in pages you publish, so nothing unrelated appears beside your work. Player appearance and branding are configurable per project and are plan- and entitlement-dependent, so confirm the specific control you want against the plan you would buy.

  • Access you decide

    Open, restricted to origins you list, or handed out as a managed private link that can carry an expiry or a play limit and be revoked. Where access is sold, the membership and the payment live in your billing — we gate the video, you own the customer.

  • Protection, per plan and project

    HLS AES encryption is an account entitlement plus a per-project setting; it requires HLS output, cannot combine with CMAF or certified DRM, and applies only to material processed after it is switched on. None of it prevents downloading, copying or screen recording, and no page of ours should suggest it does.

  • Aggregate reporting

    Plays, watch seconds and completion rate across the audience. On Plus and larger plans, supply your own user ID or email address with the embed to add per-user viewing reports.

Practical

Putting it together

Four steps for a creator building on their own surface rather than renting one.

  1. 01

    Decide where the video lives

    A page on your site, a members' area behind your own login, or inside a product. That decision shapes everything after it, and it is much cheaper to make now than after fifty videos are embedded somewhere else.

  2. 02

    Keep the audience relationship in your systems

    Whatever handles payment, membership and your mailing list should be yours. Video access can be gated to fit it, but the relationship — and the list — should not depend on a platform you do not control. That is the whole argument for hosting this way.

  3. 03

    Set access before you publish

    Turn on the protection your plan carries, set the origins your embeds may load on, and decide where private links are appropriate. Then check the refusal case, not just the playback: an origin you did not list, a revoked link.

  4. 04

    Use completion rather than plays to steer

    Rank your library by completion and watch seconds, then use customer-identified viewing when you need to understand how a member or customer engages across several videos.

Common questions

Creator questions

Answered with the boundary attached.

Can I sell access to my videos?

You can gate video and sell access through your own billing — the membership, the payment and the customer relationship stay in your systems. What this platform does not do is run a storefront or a subscription business on your behalf, and an earlier version of this page implied it did. If a specific paid-access setup decides your purchase, describe it to us and we will tell you plainly whether it fits.

Do you provide comments, community or a mailing list?

No. Comments, discussion and email capture are not capabilities here, and the previous version of this page listed them anyway. Because the video sits in a page you own, whatever you already use for community and email works alongside it — which is the arrangement most creators end up wanting in any case.

Can you stop people downloading or recording my videos?

No, and be sceptical of any platform that says otherwise. Encryption is an account entitlement plus a per-project setting applied at processing time, origin rules govern which pages an embed may load on, and managed private links can expire, cap plays or be revoked. Those raise the effort required; none of them prevents a determined viewer from recording a screen.

What will the analytics tell me about my audience?

Plays, watch seconds and completion rate, grouped by dimensions such as country, device and date. On Plus and larger plans, customer-supplied user IDs or email addresses add per-user viewing history; connect the supplied identifier to purchase events in the system that owns the sale.

Will my videos play well for everyone?

We are not going to promise that, and the previous version of this page did. Playback depends on your source, which renditions the project produced, your page and player, the network in between and the viewer's own device and connection. Test your heaviest video on a constrained connection from where your audience actually is; that result is worth more than any assurance here.

Put this on your own pages, under your own rules

Keep the audience relationship in your systems, host the video where you control the page around it, and confirm the protection your plan carries before you launch.
