Will I get a refund when I cancel Wistia?

No. Wistia does not provide refunds for cancellations or for unused portions of the current billing cycle. If you cancel mid-cycle, you retain access until the cycle ends but receive no partial refund.

What happens to my videos after I cancel?

If you cancel immediately, media stops playing for viewers and video analytics are no longer tracked. Your content remains stored but becomes inaccessible to viewers. If you cancel at end-of-cycle, everything stays active until that date.

Can I reactivate my Wistia account after cancelling?

Yes. You can reactivate by logging back into your account as the Account Owner and resubscribing. You may need to re-enter payment information. Accidentally cancelled accounts can be recovered the same way.

Who is allowed to cancel a Wistia account?

Only the Account Owner can cancel. Regular team members or managers do not have access to the cancellation flow in account settings.

Will my videos still be accessible to viewers after I cancel?

No. Once the cancellation takes effect (either immediately or at end of billing cycle), embedded and hosted videos stop playing for viewers. You should download any content you want to keep before cancellation takes effect.

Can I contact Wistia support to cancel instead?

The primary cancellation method is self-service through account settings. You can also reach Wistia support at support@wistia.com if you encounter issues completing the cancellation yourself.
