How to Post on Patreon

Posting to Patreon

SproutVideo supports sharing videos on Patreon, so you can host video content on our platform, then charge your Patreon subscribers for access to those videos.

When sharing a SproutVideo URL on Patreon, you will need to set the video to be Public at the time you create the Patreon post. The video needs to be Public so that Patreon can pull the Embed code from our platform. Once the post is published on Patreon, you must set the video back to Private within your SproutVideo account so the video will only appear for a subscriber on your Patron page.

Note: This method will only work for viewers using Patreon on a desktop or mobile web browser. The Patreon Mobile App does not support embedding private videos from our platform. You can instruct your viewers to use their desktop or mobile web browser to view your videos.

Here are the steps for sharing a video on Patreon.

1) Set the video to be Public within your SproutVideo account.

2) Copy the Share URL we provide.

3) Paste the URL copied above into the Video Link field on Patreon. Give your post a Title and Description.

4) Publish the Patreon Post for your specific Tier.

5) Once the post is published, you must set the video back to Private within your SproutVideo account, so it will only appear to subscribers on your Patreon page.
