Share school play recordings without emailing passwords

Ludiom gives schools a simple way to share performance recordings with families, students, and supporters through private access links, access codes, or paid video access.

Use Ludiom when your school already has the recording but needs a better way to control access, organize videos, and share them with the right families.

Performance recordings are easy to make, but hard to distribute cleanly

Many schools already record plays, concerts, musicals, and ceremonies. The messy part starts when staff need to get those recordings to families without losing control of the link.

  • Private Vimeo links get forwarded outside the intended audience.
  • Passwords are easy to share and hard to rotate after a performance.
  • Google Drive folders become difficult for families and staff to navigate.
  • Parents ask where to find the recording weeks after the event.
  • Schools may want to sell access without building a full online store.

A controlled access layer for school recordings

Ludiom helps your school package each recording into a private viewing experience without forcing a move away from the video tools you already use.

Create a private video page

Give each play, concert, musical, or event recording a clean page families can find again.

Organize the library

Group recordings by show, season, department, class, event type, or archive category.

Control who can watch

Use restricted playback, viewer access, and private organization libraries for school audiences.

Share access codes

Give cast families, ticket buyers, students, or supporters a simple way to unlock the right recording.

Optionally sell access

When checkout is enabled, schools can sell access through Stripe Connect without building a separate storefront.

Keep your video workflow

Continue using Vimeo, YouTube unlisted, hosted video files when enabled, or external embed links.

Common school recording workflows

Use Ludiom for the recordings families ask about most often, from opening night to graduation day.

School plays and musicals

Share full productions with cast families, ticket buyers, alumni, and supporters after closing night.

Choir and band concerts

Organize seasonal concerts and give families one reliable place to find the recording.

Dance recitals

Distribute recital recordings using access codes or paid access for participating families.

Graduation or ceremony recordings

Provide controlled access for relatives and guests who could not attend in person.

Archived performances

Build a private archive by school year, show title, department, or program.

Works with the tools you already use

Ludiom is not asking schools to replace Vimeo or rebuild their video process. It adds organization, access control, and optional checkout around the recordings you already have.

Vimeo unlisted or domain-restricted videos

Use Ludiom as the access layer around Vimeo videos your school already manages.

YouTube unlisted videos

Keep simple YouTube workflows while giving families a clearer school library experience.

Hosted video files when enabled

Use hosted files for programs where direct upload is available and fits the workflow.

External embed links

Add supported embed links without asking staff to rebuild the entire video process.

Control access without creating extra work

Choose the access model that fits the recording: a private school library, an access code for families, or paid access for a performance.

Test the workflow with your school organization

Ludiom is currently in beta. Schools can create an organization, add recordings, test private libraries and access codes, and evaluate paid access where checkout is enabled.

Questions schools often ask

Can we use Vimeo with Ludiom?

Yes. Ludiom is designed to work alongside Vimeo. Schools can use Vimeo unlisted or restricted videos and manage the audience experience through Ludiom.

Can we sell access to a school play recording?

Yes, when paid access and checkout are enabled for your organization. Ludiom can help create paid access for individual recordings using Stripe Connect.

Can we give families access codes?

Yes. Access codes can be shared with cast families, students, ticket buyers, or other approved groups so they can unlock the right recording.

Is this only for schools?

No. This page focuses on schools, but Ludiom also supports theatre groups, music organizations, educational programs, and other organizations that need controlled video access.

Do viewers need an account?

Viewer requirements depend on how your organization configures access. Some workflows can use codes or paid access, while protected libraries may require viewer authentication.

Can we keep videos private?

Yes. Ludiom helps schools keep playback restricted to the audience they choose while still giving families a simple page or library to use.
