Monetize your films with paid streaming on your own website

For independent filmmakers. You already have your film and your website. Anteroom adds a watch page with paywall and access control.

Everything between your website and your film

  • A watch page for every film

    Showcase your trailer, synopsis, artwork, and streaming offers on one clean page.

  • Rent, buy & support

    Flexible pricing, gift cards and support options tailored to your film catalog.

  • Zero friction for your audience

    Pay, receive a private viewing link, and watch immediately or later.

  • Several language versions

    Offer each film in their various language versions.

  • Direct Stripe payouts

    Connect via Stripe to receive secure payouts straight to your bank account.

  • Manage your films yourself

    Update your video links, pricing, artwork, and available offers at any time.

Reach more viewers

  • Empty rows of seats in a cinema.

    For everyone who missed it.

    Not everyone makes it to the cinema, the festival or the broadcast. On your website your film stays within reach.

  • A woman watching a film on her laptop with headphones in the evening.

    When someone finds your film later on.

    Through a recommendation, social media or an article, people find their way straight to your film.

  • The lit windows of an apartment building in the evening.

    So your work keeps earning.

    With rental, purchase or support, your film can keep bringing in income long after its release.

Vimeo On Demand closes on 20 November 2026. If you're renting or selling your film through it, you'll need a replacement before then.

Frequently asked Questions

Can I keep hosting my films on Vimeo and sell them through my own website?

Yes. You can keep using Vimeo as your video hosting and handle the sale through Anteroom. Your viewers reach the watch page from your own website, pay there, and are then given access to the film.

Do I need a new website?

No. You need an existing website – and that is exactly what stays your starting point. On it you replace the existing film or Vimeo On Demand link with the link to your Anteroom watch page.

Can I see my Anteroom page before payment starts?

Yes. You set up your first film and see your watch page beforehand in the preview. It only becomes public once you take it live – and that is exactly when payment begins. You do not need a time-limited trial for that: no clock runs until you go live.

Do I need a Stripe account?

Yes. Payments run through your own Stripe account – and that is where your money arrives. We can walk you through setting it up in the onboarding.

Can Anteroom run under my own domain?

Yes, through a subdomain of your own – for example watch.your-website.com. On the Light, Standard and Premium plans it is included. On Explorer we set it up separately if you want it. Either way it has to be created and connected to Anteroom: depending on your setup, that is done by whoever looks after your website, or by us.
