VIDEO SHARE VOD · WORDPRESS VIDEO SITE BUILDER
Build your own video sharing site.
Create a complete video destination for one creator or a community of contributors, with upload, review, discovery and native playback in one WordPress solution.
Built for entrepreneurs, publishers and developers: organize uploads and recordings, manage contribution and viewing rules, and give your audience a video site of its own. Add supported purchases and memberships through optional MicroPayments integration.
Make your videos easier to publish, discover and watch.
Bring your collection together
Upload batches or import existing server files. Organize native video posts into playlists, categories and tags.
BUILD YOUR VIDEO PAGES
Your video site, composed in WordPress.
Add a Video sharing catalog block, choose cards, tiles, lists, a creator feed or justified rows, and preview your published collection in the native editor. Place an existing native video player on another page without rebuilding its access rules.
Existing shortcodes remain available. Editor previews help check presentation; playback and each viewer’s access are tested on the page through the native player.
Keep publishing and viewer access in their own workflow
The blocks display your library. They do not approve content, replace purchase rules or change original media. Optional MicroPayments integration provides member access and reviewed release planning for eligible new drafts.
Your platform, built around your business
Build on your own domain with control of your content, customer data, brand and monetization decisions. Set your own contribution and editorial policies rather than rely on a hosted creator platform’s business model.
Own the video experience
Choose the public presentation, account journeys and content people can discover. Start with one creator or support a community.
Choose how access is sold
Combine standalone video sharing with optional purchases and memberships through MicroPayments. Keep pricing and your site’s commission decisions under your control.
Keep a base you can develop
Use WordPress content, your own media and compatible integrations. Extend the platform as your project grows.
How self-hosting costs and policies work
Using these plugins does not require a VideoWhisper revenue share. Hosting, delivery, payment processing and optional services have their own costs; a multi-creator site can configure its own commissions. You remain responsible for your site policies and the requirements of your host, payment providers and applicable law.
Give viewers a clear next step
Use searchable layouts, approved promotional posters and short previews. Optional stars and likes help people explore.
Keep control of access
Choose who can contribute and watch, review submissions and connect optional membership tools without replacing native video rules.
What you can build
- A creator video library: publish a focused catalog with previews, playlists and optional individual or membership access.
- A tutorial or resource archive: organize recordings by topic so viewers can watch on demand and find related material.
- A contributor community: let authorized members upload while staff manage review and publication.
- A home for past broadcasts: connect Broadcast Live Video to bring supported recordings into your on-demand collection.
Included tools for a working video site
- Frontend contribution: drag-and-drop batch uploads, native video posts and server import tools.
- Flexible browsing: Styled tiles, Cards, List, Creator feed and Justified rows, with optional layout buttons, filters and sorting.
- Media preparation: configured local FFmpeg processing for playback renditions, snapshots, previews and HLS segments.
- Playback choices: native HTML5, Video.js or the WordPress player, according to your configuration and actual media support.
- Review and context: native publishing rules, creator/duration details, preparation feedback and currently accessible related videos.
- Optional extensions: Media Capture for browser recording, Rate Star Review for stars/likes and MicroPayments for memberships, purchases and private playback memory.
The optional FansPaysite theme supports live light/dark/system presentation. The video plugin also works with other compatible themes.

From first upload to a video people can find
- Add a video. Upload or import supported media, or use the optional browser recorder.
- Review and prepare. Confirm the title, audience and publication choice. Check processing status when preparation is required.
- Organize and preview. Choose playlists and a listing layout; approve independent public promotions when appropriate.
- Publish and test. Open the video as an intended viewer, test any restricted-access route and share the collection.

Create a business around your library
With optional MicroPayments, offer creator subscriptions, individual access or one-time site memberships. New member videos can optionally wait for a calendar date or elapsed days from the same current membership purchase. Each purchase keeps its own expiry; approval and native viewing rules still apply.
VAST or Google IMA advertising can be configured separately. Payment-provider eligibility, checkout, advertising consent and media delivery need their own setup; the plugin does not guarantee acceptance by a provider.
Keep full videos and public previews separate
Use the optional Media Capture plugin for a shared upload and recording workspace. Background preparation retains original media and gives creators a clear status and native review destination. Review private posters and trailers before explicitly approving selected public copies.
Private preparation and hosting requirements
Configure storage outside public web roots and aliases, trusted local FFmpeg/FFprobe and cron before using private preparation. Existing public originals are retained and remain public; already shared promotional copies cannot be recalled. Playback depends on the source codec, player and device. Private HLS/CDN delivery is a separate integration.
Native creator permissions, approval and current payment/access rules remain authoritative. WordPress privacy tools cover workflow details while retaining originals, native content and necessary access records.
