What is a Video Sharing Platform? A video sharing platform lets people upload videos, watch them on any device, follow channels, comment and like. It is the model behind YouTube and Vimeo, and it can be run as a public network, a private company library or a niche community.

Questions people ask

How much does a Video Sharing Platform cost?

Our price starts from £17,500. Most UK agencies start from around £24,000 for the same kind of build. The final figure depends on the features you choose and is confirmed in writing before we begin.

How long does it take?

Typically 6–10 weeks from sign-off, depending on scope. We agree a clear timeline up front.

Do I own the code?

Yes. You receive the full source code and own everything we build for you.

Can I start small and add features later?

Yes. Many clients launch a focused first version, then add features once real users arrive. We scope it so nothing has to be rebuilt later.

Do you also run the platform for me?

We specialise in building. Once live, you can run it yourself or take one of our optional support plans for monitoring and fixes.

What about licences and regulation?

We build the software. Any licences, registrations or approvals your business needs to operate (for example FCA, CQC or ICO registration, or content rights) stay with you, and we will point out where they are likely to apply.
