YouTube-style video sharing site for WordPress

Don’t compete with YouTube. Own your niche.

A science video hub, a math lesson library, a recipe channel network, a workout video site, a gaming clips community or a general video site: you pick the topic, import the best YouTube channels for it, and build your own audience around them.

Everything you need to run a niche video site

✔ YouTube import
Add any YouTube channel, @handle or playlist, or a single video, by URL or ID. No API key needed; an optional free key raises the import limit.
✔ Automatic sync
New uploads from every source arrive on a schedule you set. Full channel histories import in batches, with a run log for every import.
✔ Transcripts and tags
Transcripts and tags are added to imported videos, so your site search finds them.
✔ Creator channels
Members sign up and create a channel with a name, avatar, banner and about text, then manage it in Creator Studio.
✔ Member uploads
Members upload MP4, WebM or MOV files up to 64 MB, played with the built-in HTML5 player, or paste a YouTube link. Cover image, category and tags included.
✔ Subscribe, like and comment
Visitors subscribe to channels, like videos and comment. Views are counted once per visitor every 6 hours, and bots are skipped.
✔ Swipeable Shorts feed
A full-screen vertical feed that plays the Short in view. Swipe, scroll or use the arrow keys. Shorts are detected on import.
✔ Video gallery
All videos and Shorts in one gallery with an All / Shorts filter and a page for every video with more videos alongside.
✔ You stay in control
Approve new member videos and comments before they go live, with a pending count in the admin and an email when a video waits for review.
✔ Categories for any niche
Create your own categories and tags: physics, recipes, workouts, game guides, anything.
✔ Fast and privacy-friendly
YouTube videos show a thumbnail until pressed and use the youtube-nocookie player. Mobile-first, no page builder.
✔ Sets itself up
Pages and menus are created when you turn the theme on. One button redoes setup any time.

FAQ

What licence do I get?
Fully licensed version — use on your own sites.
Is there anything else I need to install or buy?
No. Everything is in the one theme upload. A YouTube API key is optional and only raises the import limit.
Do I have to compete with YouTube?
No. Most owners pick a niche, such as science, math, cooking, fitness or gaming, and become the go-to video hub for it. YouTube import fills the site with relevant videos while you build your own members.
Can members upload their own videos?
Yes. Members create a channel in Creator Studio and upload MP4, WebM or MOV files up to 64 MB, or paste a YouTube link. Your server must accept uploads of that size.
Do imported videos keep updating?
Yes. Each channel or playlist is checked on a schedule, and new uploads are added automatically.
Can I check videos and comments before they go live?
Yes. Turn on approval for new member videos and for comments in the theme settings.
Will it work for my topic?
Yes. You create the categories, choose which channels to import and set your own site name and colors.
Is it connected to YouTube the company?
No. It shows public YouTube videos with YouTube’s own player. Not affiliated with YouTube.
