FAQs

Can I prevent members of a group from downloading shared videos?

To prevent video downloads, you can use a third-party app to disable right-click functionality, which can prevent users from downloading videos. This solution may not completely block all download methods, so consider using watermarks or other protective measures for sensitive content.

How can I make a group private so only invited members can access it?

In Wix Groups, you can set a group to private by adjusting the privacy settings in the group management panel. This ensures that only members you invite can join and view the group's content. To further enhance privacy, consider enabling manual approval for group membership requests.

How do I transition a free group to a paid group without losing members?

You cannot directly convert a free group to a paid group. Instead, duplicate the existing group, create a new paid version, and manually invite or add current members to the new group. Use a pricing plan to manage the paid membership and ensure clear communication with your members about the transition.

Can I limit group access based on user roles, such as buyers and affiliates?

Yes, you can create separate groups for different user roles and manage access accordingly. For example, create one group for buyers and another for affiliates. Use the Members Area to assign roles and ensure users only access the appropriate group.

How can I manage access to group pages for paid members only?

To restrict access to group pages for paid members, connect the group to a pricing plan. This ensures only members who have subscribed to the plan can access the group. You can create a pricing plan from your dashboard under the Pricing Plans tab.
