Does Uscreen help with the migration from Playbook?
Yes! Our experienced migrations team handles all the technical logistics FOR you - at no extra cost - so you can rest assured it’ll be a seamless, easy transition.
It typically takes 30-60 days, and your members won’t experience disruptions. We’ll even guide you on how to communicate with your subscribers to get them excited about your upcoming new look and feel, based on what we’ve learned from ~1,000 successful migrations.
Will I lose members during the transition process?
Because your current members won’t need to sign up and input their payment info again, you’ll keep your loyal members engaged and minimize churned subscribers. Our experienced migrations team creates accounts on behalf of your in-app Playbook members that they’ll need to log into before they'll be able to restore their purchase.
Will you move my content over?
Bulk migration directly from Playbook is possible only if your videos are hosted externally (e.g., Dropbox, AWS, Vimeo, etc). If your videos are hosted exclusively on Playbook with no external copies, you'll need to manually upload them to Uscreen.
