Imagine paying for just one single song instead of a whole music subscription, either to keep it forever or just to listen to it for a little while. TVOD works the same way for movies.
TVOD stands for transactional video on demand, meaning it requires a payment to stream, rent, or download and own a specific movie, one transaction at a time, rather than paying one flat fee for everything.
Fun facts
- Renting a new release movie online for a set number of days is a classic example of TVOD.
- TVOD is often how brand new movies become available at home first, before they show up later on an SVOD subscription service.
- TVOD sits alongside AVOD and SVOD as one of the three main ways video on demand gets paid for.
