How do you download Whop videos?
Updated
The short answer
Whop does not give buyers a button to download streaming course videos. This helps creators protect their work from being copied. If you are a creator who uploaded the video, you should keep your original file on your computer. If you want buyers to save your video, sell it as a digital file download.
Why Whop course videos cannot be downloaded
When you build a course on Whop, videos play inside the member area. Whop streams these videos so members can watch them online. It does not provide an easy download link. This keeps people from saving the lessons and sharing them on other websites for free.
Some members might look for browser tools or screen recorders to capture videos. While you cannot stop every screen recording, streaming keeps most course content safe behind your paid membership.
How creators can manage original video files
If you are a creator, do not rely on Whop as your only video storage. When you upload a video to a course, you cannot just click a button to pull the raw video file back down later. Always save your original video files on a hard drive or cloud drive before uploading.
If you lost your local copy, check your video editor or phone backups first. If that fails, you can reach out to Whop support to ask if they can help you retrieve your uploaded media.
Selling videos as direct file downloads
Sometimes you want buyers to download your video files directly. For example, you might sell video editing packs, raw footage, or video tutorials meant for offline use. To do this, upload the video as a digital file instead of embedding it into a course lesson.
You can set this up with MKKT, an app in the Whop App Store. With MKKT, you upload your video file, set a price or make it free, and get a store link. Customers can buy and download your file right away without needing to create a Whop account.
Downloading videos for clipping campaigns
Creators on Whop often run clipping campaigns through Whop Content Rewards. This program pays clippers per thousand views for reposting short videos on social media. For this to work, clippers need easy access to your video clips.
Do not lock clipping content inside private course modules. Instead, share your raw clips through a shared drive link or a public folder. That way, clippers can download your videos quickly and start posting them to bring you traffic.
