Business account for an organization

Hi,

It is a great question about setting up a CapCut account for your organization to be used by multiple team members. Let us clarify the options for organizational accounts and multi-user access within CapCut, along with the desktop app login.

Here is a breakdown of how you can approach this:

CapCut for Organizations and Multi-User Access

Currently, CapCut does not offer a dedicated "organizational account" or "team plan" in the way that some other platforms do. There isn't a specific plan designed for managing multiple users under a single organizational umbrella with distinct user logins and permissions within one account.

However, here are the most likely scenarios and workarounds for your situation, considering the Pro and Commerce plans:

1. Individual Pro accounts for each user:

   • Pro plan focus: The CapCut Pro plan is primarily designed for individual creators. It unlocks advanced editing features, cloud storage, and removes export limitations, but it is generally tied to a single user.
   • Multi-user by individual subscription: The most straightforward way to allow up to 7 people in your organization to use CapCut Pro features would be to purchase individual Pro subscriptions for each of the 7 users. Each person would create their own CapCut account and subscribe to Pro.
   • Collaboration challenges: With this approach, collaboration on projects within CapCut itself might be limited. Users would primarily work on their own projects within their individual accounts. Sharing assets would likely need to happen outside of CapCut (e.g., using shared cloud storage folders to exchange video clips, music, graphics, etc.).
   • Plan recommendation: For up to 7 users, purchasing 7 individual Pro subscriptions is likely the most feasible way to provide everyone with Pro features right now.

2. Commerce plan (primarily for E-commerce):

   • Commerce plan focus: The CapCut Commerce plan is specifically geared towards e-commerce businesses for creating product videos and ads. It unlocks features related to product linking, data analytics for e-commerce, and potentially more commercial-focused templates and assets.
   • Not designed for general organizational multi-user: The Commerce plan's features are not primarily about general team collaboration or managing multiple editors. It's more about features that benefit businesses selling products online.
   • Unlikely to solve multi-user editing: The Commerce plan likely won't provide a centralized organizational account or multi-user editing capabilities for a general organization needing video editing for various purposes (beyond e-commerce product promotion).

3. Shared account:

   • Using one account for multiple people: While technically possible to share login credentials for a single CapCut account (Pro or Free), this is generally not recommended and could potentially violate CapCut's terms of service.
   • Security and privacy issues: Sharing accounts raises security and privacy concerns.
   • Workflow inefficiency: It would become very difficult to manage projects, assets, and individual user preferences if everyone is using the same login.
   • Tools like DICloak offer account-sharing capabilities, allowing multiple users to access CapCut Pro features without sharing credentials. This can be useful for organizations needing shared access.

4. Understanding CapCut's Subscription Plans:

   • CapCut Pro: This plan is primarily designed for individual users, offering advanced features such as premium effects, transitions, and increased cloud storage. While you could theoretically share a single CapCut Pro account among multiple individuals, this approach is not officially supported and may lead to issues with simultaneous access.

   • CapCut Commerce Pro: Tailored for businesses and organizations, this plan enhances content production workflows and supports team collaboration. It includes features like automated dynamic marketing content, social media scheduling, and access to a vast library of assets. This plan is more suitable for multiple users within an organization.

In summary for organizational accounts: As of now, CapCut doesn't seem to have a dedicated organizational or team plan. The most practical approach for your organization to have up to 7 people using Pro features is likely to purchase individual CapCut Pro subscriptions for each user. Collaboration would then primarily happen through external shared asset management rather than within a single CapCut organizational account.

Desktop App Login via QR Code

You are correct that the CapCut Desktop App primarily uses QR code login via the mobile app.

• QR Code Login Process: To log in to the Desktop App, you typically need to:

  1. Open the CapCut mobile app on your phone.
  2. Find the "Scan" or QR code login option within the mobile app (usually in your profile or settings area).
  3. Use the mobile app to scan the QR code displayed on the CapCut Desktop App.
  4. This links your mobile account to the Desktop App, logging you in.

• No direct email login on desktop (currently): As you noticed, there isn't a direct email and password login option on the Desktop App itself. The QR code method is the standard way to authenticate.

• Implications for organizational use: For individual Pro subscriptions within your organization, each user would:

  1. Create their own CapCut account (likely using email on mobile or desktop website).
  2. Subscribe to Pro on their individual account.
  3. Use the QR code method to log in to the Desktop App on their own computers, linking their individual Pro accounts.

Recommendations for your organization:

1. Individual Pro subscriptions: For now, purchasing individual CapCut Pro subscriptions for each of your 7 users is likely the most functional way to provide everyone with Pro features.
2. External asset management: Establish a shared cloud storage system (like Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.) for your team to easily share video footage, music, graphics, and other assets for collaborative projects.
3. It would be beneficial for CapCut to offer a true organizational/team plan in the future. You could provide feedback to CapCut by writing an email to [email protected] or [email protected] to express the need for organizational accounts with multi-user management and collaboration features. If more users request this, CapCut might consider developing such plans in the future.

While it is not a perfect team-based solution currently, using individual Pro subscriptions combined with external asset sharing will allow your team to utilize CapCut Pro features effectively. The QR code login for the Desktop App is the standard method, and each user would link their individual CapCut account to their desktop app.

We strongly recommend you to consult the above procedure with CapCut support team at the email mentioned above before proceeding with the plan.
