Account Setup

Create your VideoNest account, set up your channel, and configure your profile.

⏱ 4 min read Last updated October 19, 2026

Create your account

Go to app.videonest.co and sign up with your email address. You'll verify your email before continuing to channel setup.

VideoNest plans start at $9.99/month. Hosting, the video player, and embedding are all available from day one.

By creating a VideoNest account, you agree to our Terms of Service and acknowledge our Privacy Policy.

Set up your channel

After signup you'll be guided through a short channel setup flow. You'll be asked for:

  • Channel name — shown in your library, on your video website, and in some distribution contexts
  • Description — a brief summary of your content
  • Category — helps VideoNest route content to appropriate distribution partners
  • Upload source — how you'll get videos into VideoNest

You can upload files directly, or configure a supported storage import for your channel. A storage source needs its own connection settings; choosing a provider during onboarding does not authorize or start a sync by itself. See Importing from Cloud Storage for supported connections and the manual-upload alternative.

💡
You can update these settings later. Channel name, description, category, and your sync source can all be changed after onboarding from your Media Library or Settings.

Your profile

Your account profile is separate from your channel settings. Go to Settings > Account Profile to update your display name, profile image, and contact information. To manage your subscription or seat count, see Plan Management.

This is your VideoNest account identity, used for login and support — it is not the same as your public-facing channel name.
