Stop Link Sharing on Your Paid Masterclasses and Workshops

When students buy a ticket, they should not be able to forward the stream to 10 colleagues. Gated locks each ticket to the buyer’s verified device.

Quick Answer

How do course creators prevent live stream link sharing?

Course creators prevent link sharing by binding ticket access to the student’s verified email address and physical device fingerprint. Gated enforces this automatically: when an unlisted link is forwarded to an unpaid guest, access is rejected immediately.

The hidden revenue leak in online workshops

Creators spend weeks preparing masterclasses only to lose 20% to 40% of their ticket revenue to shared links.

Breach Vector 1

Students sharing Zoom or YouTube links with coworkers

Standard video conference links can be pasted into team chats or shared among friends, allowing unpaid viewers to attend for free.

Breach Vector 2

Diminished production value from webcam software

Charging premium ticket prices for a blurry 720p webcam presentation damages your brand authority and increases refund requests.

Breach Vector 3

Complex membership portal requirements

Setting up custom WordPress membership plugins or LMS gating takes hours of technical setup and frequently breaks right before the webinar.
