Sell and protect
your video courses

Build a Masterclass or Udemy-style platform of your own: deliver structured courses to students on every screen, gate them behind a login, and protect your work with studio-grade DRM - sold as individual courses or an all-access subscription.

WHY OWN IT

Own your courses instead of renting a marketplace

An education video platform delivers structured, gated courses as streaming video - lessons organized into modules, protected from piracy, and sold per course or by subscription to students on any device, the model behind platforms like Masterclass and Udemy.

Your students, your brand

A branded course app means students learn from you, not a marketplace pushing competing courses beside yours. You keep the audience and the relationship.

Protect what you teach

Course video is valuable and easy to rip. Studio-grade DRM and secure playback make your lessons far harder to pirate and redistribute.

Keep more of the revenue

Selling direct through your own platform means you are not handing a marketplace a large cut of every enrollment. More of each sale stays with you.

KEY FEATURES

Features educators rely on

Your brand on the biggest screen

Full white-label design - your name, logo, color palette, and content organization. Viewers see a polished experience that reflects your brand, not a generic template.

24/7 linear and FAST channels

Schedule your library into a continuous linear stream like a traditional TV channel. The scheduling engine and EPG run it automatically, around the clock.

SVOD, AVOD, and TVOD - your way

Subscription, ad-supported, or pay-per-view - or any combination. Native billing (Roku Pay, Apple/Google IAP), pre-roll and mid-roll ads, and rentals are built in.

Live events, streamed everywhere

Broadcast live to every screen using any RTMP-compatible encoder. Multi-CDN delivery keeps it smooth for a small class or a stadium crowd.

One CMS, every platform

Manage VOD, live, and linear schedules from one unified dashboard. Update metadata, artwork, and shelves once and publish across all your apps instantly.

Analytics that drive decisions

Track views, episode performance, viewer retention, and subscription metrics with daily, monthly, and yearly reports - so you program with real data.

MONETIZATION

How educators monetize

Pay-per-course

Sell each course as a one-time purchase. Best for a small set of premium, standalone programs where students buy exactly what they need.

All-access subscription

One recurring fee unlocks your entire catalog - ideal for a deep, growing library that students work through over months, and it builds recurring revenue.

Hybrid: library plus premium

Run a subscription for the core library and sell flagship courses or cohorts separately on top, capturing both steady revenue and high-ticket sales.
