Q: Hi, considering this deal but I have a couple of questions.
1) All my videos are over 1GB each and mostly on YouTube.
So where can I find the list of vooPlayer features that actually work on videos hosted on YouTube (and the other 3rd party platforms)?
2) From a quick look at your linked information, looks like, vooPlayer only works with Public/Unlisted videos (e.g. hosted on YouTube), not PRIVATE videos. So, what is the point to add Email Gates, Share Gates, Pay Gates, etc... if we have to host videos, 'public' and users can watch them for free, no gates e.g. on YouTube?
3) Would all the features work if I was hosting videos on my own server (e.g. Amazon or other web hosts like a server on Hostgator for example)
Thanks

1 - 98% of our features work. Here is an article that tells you the few features that don't work, just scroll to the bottom: https://docs.vooplayer.com/faqs/benefits-of-hybrid-hosting
2 - You would add the Youtube link, configure your video with a gate for example, and then use the vooPlayer embed code to add to your website. Your visitors won't even know that the video is on Youtube.
3 - Same as Youtube, it will work but there are a few things that wouldn't. Like allowing for the video to be downloaded, and HLS security won't either. Check that article I posted above for more info.
Great questions, thank you!
