Is it possible to put a peertube channel behind a paywall? (feddit.dk)

I had this idea, because I was wondering if means.tv or nebula.tv could be made part of the peertube network. These two streaming platforms are paywalled, so it seems like it would not be possible. I don't use peertube, and I don't really know anything about it, so excuse my ignorance if the answer seems painfully obvious to you.

I do something similar to it and it works OK, even though not amazing. I think a lot of schools and organizations do that also.

I upload the videos which should only be available ta a small group which I manage on my instance and mark them as internal. This way users on my instance can watch them but the public on the internet can't.

You could make a user for people who played a subscription fee only in that case.

Why I say it works OK and not great is because then federation doesn't work and you would need a new user on each instance you pay for.
