What is Streamwish and how does it work?

Streamwish is a video hosting service: it lets you upload video files and share them through a link or a player that can be embedded on other sites.

It’s known mainly among people looking to earn money from plays, because this kind of platform usually offers an earnings program for uploaders. The specific terms (rates, minimums, payout methods) are published by the service itself and may change.

The model is simple: the service hosts the video for free and shows ads to viewers. With what advertisers pay, it shares part with the uploader.

There are two common ways to split it. Some platforms use fixed rate tables per 1,000 or 10,000 views by country. Others share a percentage of what advertisers actually paid (the real RPM). With fixed rates you know in advance what you’ll earn per view, but the tables can change; with a real-revenue share the amount varies each month, but it’s more transparent if they show you the breakdown.

• Payouts: how much they pay, how it’s calculated (fixed rate or a share of real revenue), the minimum to withdraw and the available methods.
• Viewer experience: how many ads your audience sees and whether they’re intrusive; an annoying player makes people leave.
• Content rules: how copyright is handled and whether there’s a reporting system. Services that tolerate other people’s content tend to have more takedowns.
• Stability: whether links and embedded players keep working over time and what their policy is for old files.
• Privacy and data: what information they ask for to pay you and how they handle it.
• Current terms: always check Streamwish’s official site, because these terms change often.

Dembed covers what people look for in Streamwish: upload videos for free (up to 20 GB per file), share them by link or embed them with an iframe, and earn money from plays from your first video.

The difference is how you earn and the player: on Dembed you get a share of the real RPM advertisers paid in each country, with a monthly breakdown in your dashboard, and the player carries your color and logo, with no other channels’ recommendations. You withdraw from 25 USD via PayPal, USDT, Payoneer or bank transfer.
