Test the YouTube-style app
A live test network built as the YouTube-style app, with its own web app and admin console. The buttons sign you in automatically — there’s nothing to set up.
Logins
Two logins, ready to use.
One for the members’ side, one for the owner’s side. Copy them, then open the app.
The web app
thesocialtycoon.com/sites/youtube
Sign in as the shared test member and use the YouTube-style app the way your members will.
- Username
demo- Password
password
- Shared by every tester: someone else may be signed in at the same time.
- Protected: it can’t be deleted, and its username and password can’t be changed.
The admin console
thesocialtycoon.com/sites/youtube-admin
Sign in as a read-only admin and see the network from the owner’s side, in the YouTube style’s own words.

- Read-only: every section opens, nothing can be changed or saved.
- Revenue, tokens, ads and moderation, with the test network’s own data.
What to try
Where to start.
A few things only the YouTube-style app does — and where to look in its admin.
In the web app
- Watch a video with chapters and captions
- Swipe through Shorts
- Join a channel or send a Super Thanks with tokens
- Open Studio to see a channel’s analytics
In the admin
- Tokens: the fee the network keeps on each kind of payment
- Partner Program: channels and their share of ad revenue
- Premium: plans and paying members
- Advertising: video campaigns waiting for review
Mobile apps
The YouTube-style apps for iOS and Android.
The native test apps aren’t in the stores yet, but you can test them before they are: call us and we’ll add you to the testers with the email of your Apple ID or Google account. They use the same network as the web app above, with the same members and posts.
Good to know
A shared test network.
Shared with other testers
Everyone testing this type uses the same network and the same member account, so you may see other testers’ posts, likes and messages.
A read-only admin
The tester login opens every admin section but can’t save anything — no member, post or setting changes.
Data may be reset
The test network goes back to its demo content from time to time, so anything you post there can disappear.
