Introduction

Free Content feature in Muvi One allows you to engage your end-users and boost conversions! With this feature, you have full control over what content (video, audio) to offer for free, allowing your end-users to access it without making a purchase. You can easily mark specific content as free, overriding any existing monetization settings.

But that's not all - you also have the flexibility to decide whether registration and login are required for accessing free content. This ensures that you can collect valuable end-user data while providing a seamless viewing experience.

You can also effortlessly unmark free content and allow it to be monetized again, giving you maximum flexibility in your content strategy. Free Content is not just about engaging your audience; it's also a powerful upselling tool. By offering free content, you can entice your end-users to explore more of what you have to offer, increasing user engagement and ultimately driving sales.
