A video-on-demand platform that reflects your brand
A custom video platform combines four blocks: playback and streaming, subscription access, a back office and GDPR-compliant data hosted in France. It makes sense when you want your own access rules, your own data and links with your tools. Here is what it includes and how to budget for it.

Frequently asked questions about video platforms
What does a custom video platform include?
Video playback and streaming, subscription access, a subscriber area, a back office to manage the catalogue, and GDPR-compliant data handling.
Why not Vimeo, Uscreen or YouTube?
These services are fine to get started. A custom platform becomes worthwhile when you need your own access rules, your own data or integrations with your tools.
Can the platform connect to an existing management tool?
Yes, if that subscription, membership or accounting tool offers a programming interface, an API. We check this during scoping.
How can the videos be protected?
With subscriber-only access, time-limited links and suitable video hosting. No protection is absolute; we explain the limits.
How much does a video platform cost?
The budget depends on the number of features and the volume of videos. The exact price is set by a written quote, after scoping your project.
How long does it take to build?
Several months for a complete version, with a first usable version sooner. The precise timetable is set in the quote, after scoping.
