Good to know

Ultimate Membership Pro locks pages, not video files

Here’s exactly where the plugin stops and your video host takes over.

What it does and doesn’t do with video

It doesn’t host, stream or convert video. Your videos stay on your video host and are embedded in members-only pages. It controls who can open the page. A direct link to the video on your host is protected only by your host’s own privacy settings. It doesn’t add DRM to video files. Cheat Off works one way: one login per account at a time. Pay per post, Restrict Past Content and the Elementor and Divi lockers need Full Package. Everything else on this page works on every plan.

FAQ

Questions about video memberships

Not sure your setup is covered? Search the documentation or try the live demo before you buy.

Does Ultimate Membership Pro host or stream my videos?

No. Keep your videos on your video host and embed them in WordPress pages or posts. Ultimate Membership Pro locks those pages so only the Memberships you choose can open them.

What does a WordPress video membership plugin need to do?

Lock the pages your videos are embedded in, charge members every month or year and release videos over time. Ultimate Membership Pro does all three, and Cheat Off keeps one account to one viewer at a time.

How do I build a video membership site on WordPress?

Upload your videos to your video host, create your Memberships, embed each video in a page and lock the page with the Locker. Add a drip schedule if videos should open over time.

Can I release one video a week?

Yes. Set each video page to open a number of days, weeks or months after a member joins, or on a date you choose. Drip Content Notifications tells members when new content is available.

Can members share one account?

Cheat Off, included in every plan, allows one login per account at a time. When someone logs in with the same account, the earlier session is logged out and sent to a page you choose.

Can visitors watch a free preview?

Yes. Keep the trailer public and lock the rest of the page with the Inside Locker. Everyone else sees your own message, with or without a login form.
