When to Use Each Method

  • Paywall Links
    Ideal for selling access to an entire performance or project (e.g., theater, dance recitals). Ensures secure access from a viewer’s account and supports viewing through the MediaZilla app.

  • Share Links
    Best for quickly sharing browser-based access. Useful when monetization isn’t the focus, or when giving friends/family casual access. Monetization can still be layered in with Dynamic Video Sales.

  • Email Delivery
    Best for granting a client or specific recipient private, lifetime access to their content (e.g., a wedding couple). Works seamlessly with the MediaZilla app. Can be combined with Share Links or Paywall Links for flexible distribution.
