This service is nice and I can imagine this website being used to create a fan site for all Steve Jobs or Kevin Rose videos for example. Also the pricing is good.

@androidlove Thank you Carlos! I would love to see someone make a channel full of Steve Jobs videos - I wouldn't do any work ever again 😄

Tested some of the channels created with Vimsy that you've included on your site (including your Vimsy support channel) on an iPhone 6 and every time I played a video there was no way to exit out of the video pop up. The only way to continue navigating the site is to refresh the page. This is a critical issue imo since it discourages myself from moving onto the next step (which is to create my own channel and test further).

@madebyildi Hi Ildi - I'm really sorry you had that issue! The majority of our traffic so far has been desktops so we've not had that reported to us yet, and I'll admit that I've not been entirely stringent with testing every feature on mobile devices. Lesson learned! I'll make a note for our developers to take a look at that one. Thanks for pointing it out to me!

@rowan_johnson no problem, it should be a simple fix, but an important one, hopefully it's resolved quickly. Great work otherwise, there's a lot of ideas that can be worked out using your platform.

@madebyildi Just thought I'd let you know that we've fixed this issue. Thank you so much for reporting it to me - I probably wouldn't have spotted it otherwise!

Can you do live streaming with it? So for example use it for webinars, then make the content available?

@nthgergo Hi Gergely, at the moment videos must be hosted on Youtube, Vimeo or Wistia. So, to answer your question, we support live streaming through Youtube ☺️

Any examples of educators or course creators selling their course content here? Could be a cool alternative to platforms like Teachable, Thinkific or Kajabi. I could see somebody building a big library of courses here and selling it as a subscription model kind of like Skillshare.

@matt_mclelland1 One of our heaviest users so far is The PM Channel (https://www.thepmchannel.com). They have over 1500 videos that are sold on a subscription basis. Their videos are a mixture courses (qualifications) and recordings of industry events. They had heavy input into the development of Vimsy and I'm confident that their success can be replicated with other training and education companies. If video-based training is your thing then Vimsy is a great option. Here's some more info if you're interested: https://vimsy.co/solutions/training

Oh, this is great! Can the user signup function be disabled for custom domains? So that only my channel is the one featuring the content?

@erickbarron86 Hey Erick, you can turn off registrations, but I'm aware we might need to do a some work on this. Could you send me an email rowan@vimsy.co with a bit more detail? Thanks!

@rowan_johnson This looks so awesome! What are the issues with monetizing videos on other platforms like YouTube like? Do you need to have full ownership of the contents video? And if you do own it but upload it to youtube, can you still monetize on it (i.e. it doesn't break youtube's ToS?)

@mikeyahdoot We're operating within the limits of Youtube's API, so no worries in that respect. The only caveat with Youtube specifically is that the player displays a link back to the video on Youtube (part of their ToS) so we don't recommend hosting many paid videos there. Vimeo or Wistia would be a much better hosting option for selling content, although there's nothing stopping you either way. The videos don't technically need to be yours either, but you would be accountable to your customers so apply common sense... ☺️

Awesome! ...And to prove how easy it is, I just added my newest course on "How to Create the Next Billion-Dollar Startups." https://investors.vimsy.co/ Took me less than 30 minutes to set-up. Great work with this platform.

@rossblankenship That's really amazing! I'm so excited to see you do that much with it that quickly. Thank you for sharing! Can you see yourself using Vimsy going forward? Feel free to send me an email if you need any help or advice: rowan@vimsy.co

@vimsy @rowan_johnson Looks fairly simple. Could be helpful with SEO too as I see you have some tools there to help with optimization. I usually host my courses on our website (angelkings.com/course) but your site seems to give solid metrics and with our price point, would be worth it. I hope your team does well. And if you need a case study in a few months, get in touch. Always great helping startups succeed :)
