VK communities will be able to show exclusive videos only to subscribers

VK Video has provided community administrators with new content management capabilities. Now you can determine who will have access to video materials. It also became possible to access videos by link - unregistered in a social network, like Youtube.

So now you don't need access to the VIP group to watch exclusive videos, you can just make an album for certain users. On the other hand, with their own donation system and exclusive albums for donors, content makers can now use VK entirely instead of several services.

In addition, it may be easier to interact with the audience: access to closed materials will be a prize in a repost competition or a promotion to increase subscriber activity. And those videos that are available only by link will not be visible in the general list of community videos. The ability to comment remains the same: for all users, members of the group, or only for its administrators.

In addition to privacy settings, administrators will have access to other VK Video technologies. For example, it will be possible to upload files up to 256 GB in size, and subscribers will be able to watch videos and live broadcasts in Full HD and 4K quality. Still, according to VK, you can broadcast videos from mobile devices to a computer or TV screen via Chromecast and AirPlay network media players.

Previously, similar privacy settings have been added to the Clips service.
