You regularly create video content. You want to share it online, but you do not know where to host your videos?
An online video hosting platform is the solution you need. Hosting videos online not only lets you save your videos but also stream them in high resolution and share them with your audience.
We immediately think of YouTube for embedding a video on our website or for sharing a video link, but if your content is intended for a restricted audience, it would be better to opt for a private online video hosting solution.
In this article, we shine a spotlight on how an online video hosting solution like Videas works.
The Benefits of an Online Video Hosting Platform
You have several hours of video and want to share them online in a private space?
YouTube is probably the first solution that comes to mind. However, it is a public online video hosting platform, often described as a social network.
The downside? The videos you want to share with your clients, team members, etc., risk being seen by thousands of people!
Private online video hosting platforms offer several advantages:
1. Secure Storage for Your Videos
When a video is online, it is automatically stored on a cloud. Simply put, this is the storage space where your data is saved. You have nothing to worry about, as the cloud keeps your data in a secure location.
2. Full Control Over Video Streaming
Watching a video should be a comfortable experience. That is why your videos will be viewed by your audience in the best possible quality.
Automatic video encoding during upload ensures your viewers get the best quality regardless of their viewing device (mobile, tablet, computer) or their internet connection.
Additionally, unlike public video platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, or Dailymotion, you do not have to worry about your videos being flagged or removed due to music rights issues or similar concerns.
You can also precisely manage who has access to your content through advanced privacy options.
3. Password-Protected Video Sharing
Whether you are a coach, trainer, communications manager, or simply someone who wants to share videos with your circle, you can control access to your videos.
Indeed, online video hosting solutions allow you to enhance the confidentiality of your video content. For example, you can add a password to the videos you share with your recipients.
Generating a private sharing link is a simple and effective way for your recipient to view your video without needing to download it.
4. A Customizable Video Player
Who has not wanted to customize their video player? You can offer your audience a viewing experience fully aligned with your brand. You can change:
- Color and appearance
- Resolution
- Video launch mode (automatic or manual)
- Show or hide certain buttons
- Embed your player on your website
- Customize the logo with your brand
- Add advanced options (subtitles, chapters, etc.)
