Most of that you can accomplish with a category that is accessible by only one group and the subscription plugin to control access to the group. You’d need some other software to show the video and just let discourse provide a link to the video (on YouTube, perhaps).

You’d hope that users would not share those links with non paying people. It’s more work to tie your video platform to discourse permissions.
