FASO Now supports adding streaming video to your website.

This feature only works on our latest generation of templates.  The templates that the video feature works on are the ones listed on this page:  https://www.faso.com/templates.html

You may add unlimited Youtube Videos or you may upload video directly.  Direct uploaded video is charges as follows:

Intro Plan - $.02/Video minutes/month
(So if you uploaded a 60 minute video it would add $1.20 to your monthly bill.  Remember, Youtube Videos are free because they remain hosted and served by Youtube)

Silver Plan - 60 video minutes included, additional video $.02/Video minutes/month

Gold Plan - 120 video minutes included, additional video $.02/Video Minutes/month

Platinum Plan - 300 video minutes included, additional video $.02/Video Minutes/month

If you offer a streaming video for sale there is a 6% transaction fee on paid Videos to FASO to cover additional bandwidth, support, and other charges.  This fee is being waived for the time being.


Why did we build hosted Video?

YouTube, for example, seems like a great option for hosting free videos you might want to offer because it's free to use and they promise to help you reach a big audience.

But, with Youtube, you end up having to deal with pesky ads and other annoying videos that that play after your video is over. And that audience that they promised you never magically materializes. It actually takes a lot of work on your part to grow a following.

Vimeo, on the other hand, has no pesky ads but it costs money that you probably can't afford right now.  And if you want to sell paid videos, this complicated platform gets even more complicate really fast.

FASO Video feature solves all these challenges for you by:

Making it ridiculously easy to upload videos. It's just as easy as uploading an artwork to FASO.

Automatically creating and adding pages for your free videos to your FASO website, just like we do for artworks, exhibits, and workshops.

Making it super easy to place your free videos anywhere you want, including any page on your FASO artist website, in your new newsletters, and even on other websites.

Creating sales pages for your paid videos where you can add a trailer and sales copy.

Creating password-protected pages for your paid videos where your students can watch the ones that they've purchased.

Paid videos also work seamlessly with our built-in Shopping Cart, which automatically sends the
purchaser a link to their paid video and their password to access it. This gives you one less thing to have to worry about.
