Create gated content from any video or livestream

Frequently Asked Questions

The gated content feature lets users put their Switcher Player videos and livestreams behind a paywall. That means earning directly from viewers and supporters without sending them to other platforms. 

There are two ways to use gated content with Switcher: 

  1. Passes. Passes let you bundle and sell video content for a one-time purchase. Purchasing a pass gives your viewers unlimited access to any video or collection you want to include (even new livestream content).
  2. Subscriptions. Creators can bundle videos or livestreams into packages that renew monthly or annually. Customize subscriptions to earn recurring revenue from your video content.
