Apps support monetizing your content with subscriptions. When enabled, a popup window appears on the content landing page prompting the viewer to choose a subscription plan to view your videos.

Depending on your app provider, unauthorized viewers may still be able to browse your library, but they will not be able to watch content.

Subscription plans give your viewers access to the following features:

• Accessing various subscription plans to view content
• Viewing subscription content
• Accessing previously started (Continue Watching) and Favorites content
