What it does
Putting together a streaming site on WordPress usually means combining a theme, a video manager and a membership system, then making them look consistent. Wowtube packs these pieces into one theme. You can upload, organize and categorize videos, play self-hosted files or embed content from external platforms such as YouTube and Vimeo, and manage member accounts and subscription plans for paid access.
The look of the site is handled through multiple ready-made page templates and drag-and-drop customization, so you can match your brand without writing code. The layout is responsive and adapts to desktops, tablets and phones. It suits creators publishing original films, businesses hosting recorded events and anyone curating a large video library who wants viewers to browse by category and sign up for access.
Best for
- Creators launching their own subscription video service
