The Locked Video App on UniLink lets you gate video content behind a paywall so only paying customers can watch your exclusive videos.
What is the Locked Video App?
The Locked Video App allows creators to publish video content on their UniLink page that is only accessible after payment. Unlike selling a video file for download, this app streams the video directly in the browser once unlocked, providing a premium viewing experience. It is ideal for exclusive tutorials, behind-the-scenes footage, paid webinar replays, or any video content you want to monetize.
How to Enable the Locked Video App
- Log in to UniLink Dashboard
- Go to Apps section
- Select Locked Video and click Enable
- Upload your video or paste a video URL and set your unlock price
Features and Configuration
- In-Browser Video Streaming — Buyers watch the unlocked video directly in their browser without downloading a file.
- Thumbnail Preview — Display a thumbnail image to entice visitors before they purchase access.
- Free Preview Clip — Optionally show a short teaser of the video before the paywall to boost conversions.
- Custom Unlock Price — Set any price that reflects the value of your exclusive video content.
- Buyer Notifications — Receive an alert each time someone unlocks your video.
- View Count Tracking — Monitor how many people have purchased access and watched your locked videos.
Best Practices
- Always show a compelling thumbnail and a short free preview to give visitors a taste of the quality they will get after unlocking.
- Promote your locked video in Stories or posts by sharing the thumbnail and teasing the content that viewers will see inside.
- Keep your locked videos focused on a single topic or outcome so buyers immediately understand the value proposition.
