# Best Video Hosting Platforms - Page 4

  *By [Gauri Pawsey](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/gauri-pawsey)*

   Video hosting software enables businesses to upload, store, and share video content digitally. Businesses employ video hosting software to distribute videos to viewers across various devices and platforms. It allows businesses to use video content for marketing, sales, customer engagement, communication, and training purposes.

Video hosting software is used by teams that need to store and access video content. Some common users include marketing teams creating campaign content, HR departments developing training videos, and sales teams making pitch materials for sales representatives to use with clients.

This software enables businesses to efficiently distribute high-quality video content to viewers, regardless of their location or device. It also provides infrastructure to help businesses manage scalability as traffic to video content increases. Some video hosting platforms have enterprise-level functionality, which includes additional features to help with scale and infrastructure, security and compliance, analytics and reporting, and more.

To qualify for inclusion in the Video Hosting category, a product must:

- Provide storage and viewing capabilities for video files
- Manage permissions to control who can access and view hosted videos
- Allow users to deliver video content to audiences on various platforms and devices

## How Do You Choose the Right Video Hosting Platforms?

### What You Should Know About Video Hosting Platforms

### What are Video Hosting Platforms?

Short-form video content is the new normal for how we consume content. This goes for our news and entertainment and also customer support and business training. We send personalized videos to our clients and our team, and the frequency is constantly increasing thanks to smartphones and tablets. Even users with little or no technology experience can record, edit, and share clips with one of the many easy video apps on the market. It is not surprising that social media has evolved from statuses and photos to a barrage of GIFs and videos based on this newfound ease of filming.

Whether you do marketing for your business, are involved with employee and customer support, or are simply part of a tech-forward team, sharing videos will likely become a routine task if it isn’t already. The tools in this category provide an easy, secure platform for uploading and viewing the video content you create. These web platforms allow for convenient video streaming by your customers, business partners, or whoever else your intended audience may be. They also help with content management thanks to features such as tagging and search engines. Rather than tossing your countless demo videos and similar content into a traditional [file storage and sharing software](https://www.g2.com/categories/file-storage-and-sharing), these tools enable users to upload, share, and interact with these files in one centralized, online location. A number of these platforms offer additional features to help manage and optimize your growing library of content. As video content further cements itself as legitimate business media, online video hosting will become requisite technology for millions of businesses. The diverse products in this category already help millions of businesses.

Key Benefits of Video Hosting Platforms

- Upload and store videos from desktops and, in some cases, mobile devices
- Conveniently organize videos for your intended audience with tagging and search filters
- Allow public or private users to stream or download content
- Monetize public-facing content with advertisements and embedded sales communications

### Why Use Video Hosting Platforms?

Before the rise of this software space, viewing video content required each individual to download files to their hard drives and run them on media players installed on their computers. Video sharing was a complicated and stressful process due to the oversized files, which would often not fit on emails or flash drives. Video hosting providers eliminate this problem with easy, interactive platforms that can be accessed by multiple visitors at once. Depending on a platform’s bandwidth, hundreds or even thousands of viewers can stream or download these files at a given moment. Additionally, visitors can pause or jump around to different times within a video as needed, without interrupting the playback of others. It is no longer necessary to install media players or wait for large downloads and slow down your computer’s bandwidth to watch digital videos.

Whether you create this content with expensive camera equipment or a popular mobile app, modern video platforms are an ideal service for organizing and distributing your finished content. Web hosting not only eliminates the stress of oversized downloads—along with the potential problems this can entail—but helps users reach more viewers than ever before. This can mean sharing company-related video content across an enterprise organization or engaging with customers around the world in the blink of an eye. The unprecedented capabilities of these tools goes hand in hand with how easy it has become to create high-resolution, movie-quality content using the Android or iOS device already in your pocket.

Your target viewers, whether on your staff or scattered around the globe, are already on the internet for hours a day. The solutions in this category make it simple to store and organize video content online, where viewers can access it with an HTML link or by accessing a website. It is not only easier to access this content online, but the average employee or customer may be more open to viewing it when they do not have to download large files. The ease of these sharing platforms also increases the potential for resharing of your content and generating new followers or sales opportunities that were previously not possible. And when it comes to internal content, such as webinars or marketing collateral, these solutions can rapidly improve engagement and learning by making fun, informative content readily available for any and all employees.

For these reasons and more, video hosting tools are a worthwhile addition to your company’s software stack. If you already have a significant investment in video content or are likely to produce or gather valuable content in the future, these tools can provide a solid foundation for sorting, streaming, and interacting with your company’s videos for years to come.

### Who Uses Video Hosting Platforms?

As mentioned above, web videos are a universal medium, showing no signs of changing. The widespread availability of streaming on hosted platforms is a central part of the equation. Collectively, these tools have millions of users once you factor in everyone who has watched a clip with help from this technology, not to mention the artists and video bloggers adding their personal bodies of work on a daily basis.

With that being said, there are particular groups of professionals more likely to leverage these solutions on the back end—that is, uploading and sharing videos in this way. This is particularly true when it comes to more business-focused applications. It is impossible to summarize the types of users creating videos, but the following groups are most likely to create business content and use this technology for the purposes of sharing, whether with a few colleagues or thousands of customers.

**Marketers —** Viral marketing is a common aspiration for the modern marketer. This can mean anything from mysterious commercials on television to giant displays in the middle of a busy city. For many successful campaigns, it includes a buzzworthy video campaign on the internet. If you publish the right video and it catches fire through word of mouth, it can mean big business for your brand. When used to maximum effect, short promotional clips published on these channels can be more valuable than just about any form of advertising. This is especially true when viral videos are reshared and discussed on [social networks software](https://www.g2.com/categories/social-networks). Public URLs of content that is published on video hosting sites can be conveniently shared on a viewer’s feed. Some hosting sites even include features for direct sharing right from the video’s webpage.

Outside of attempted viral marketing, marketers can keep a repository of branded content on a video hosting platform to be used within the company. These videos can be used to help promote culture and educate the staff about certain promotions or messaging. Together with product teams, brand marketers can supplement new product or service rollouts with informative content and welcome others in the company to comment on videos directly on the hosting site. This branded content can also be used by salespeople as marketing collateral. For these purposes, sales teams can use this software alongside or in place of [sales enablement software](https://www.g2.com/categories/sales-enablement). Email marketing or marketing automation campaigns can even link to timely videos or specific content related to a topic. At the very least, marketing teams can organize video content within these platforms so they are easily searchable across the organization and, if so desired, by customers or followers.

**Support teams —** For software developers and consumer product vendors, there is a constant demand for customer support and education. Text-based resources, such as product manuals and knowledge bases, are still a reliable way to communicate information such as setup, troubleshooting, and frequently asked questions (FAQs). Professional videos, though, have changed the way product and support departments engage with a brand’s audience. Video content such as step-by-step walkthroughs of features and issue resolution can be more engaging than lengthy written content. A collection of such content on an easily navigable platform is an ideal use of this technology.

Over time, product support teams can build a comprehensive collection of helpful content and grant access to customers as needed, making it a privileged membership site. These videos can also be an excellent resource for others within the company as they attempt to master the brand’s product or run into issues. With tagging and search features built into some hosting tools, these video collections can become a unique help directory, where visitors type in keywords or click on certain topics and are directed to the most relevant videos. Support teams might use [screen and video capture software](https://www.g2.com/categories/screen-and-video-capture) in the process of creating help content. These products allow users to record themselves resolving an issue or performing a task on their computer screen and repurpose this footage into shareable content. Support staff might collaborate with the content or design department to plan and design the most helpful, high-quality content possible.

**Trainers —** Video hosting platforms have changed the way that companies do onboarding and training, whether you work in the retail industry or a technology development firm. From introductory lessons to advanced webinars, your internal training staff can take advantage of video technology to curate a variety of educational materials. Migrating certain aspects of your employee training onto this effective medium can not only improve learning speed and retention, but it can free up those staffers who would normally be tasked with on-hands training. Traditional training would entail repeating certain information over and over with every new hire. Thanks to these hosting tools, managers, trainers, and human resources can structure a complete training plan through these videos. This can include continuing education in addition to day-one information.

A collection of training videos can be used in conjunction with [corporate LMS software](https://www.g2.com/categories/corporate-lms) to provide employees with all the materials they could possibly need to get acclimated with a new position. Long after the initial training is over, employees can go back and access content as needed for specific subject areas or job scenarios. Managers and executive assistants may choose to upload lectures, important meetings, or other informative content on these platforms. The more informative, engaging content made available to a growing staff, the better. And because these sites are often accessible from anywhere, with the right login credentials, employees are empowered to watch helpful content at home to strengthen their skills whenever the time calls for it. In many cases, these videos are accessible from mobile devices as well, so employees can continue their training on the go.

### Video Hosting Platforms Features

As with any software category, there is a great deal of product diversity in the video hosting space. No two offerings are exactly the same. Certain features, though, have come to define these solutions beyond uploading and storing your videos. When researching the different solutions in this category, you may encounter some of the following features as core capabilities of a given product.

**Tagging —** When you transfer a video file onto a hosting application, you may be given options for naming the video and placing it into a certain folder. In many platforms, you can also add a description. This will ensure the viewer knows some context for a clip before they watch it. The more details you assign to a given video, the easier it will be for visitors to find what they are looking for in a search and get a sense of the content before investing time in the stream.

To build upon this, a number of video hosting solutions provide the ability to tag individual videos with one or more relevant keywords. For example, if your video is about updating a software to a newer version, you could tag it with the terms “update" and “version." By doing this, your software will automatically arrange the video into a folder with similar content. Users then have the ability to search through all videos based on these keywords. If they click or search the tag “update," the platform will direct them to a list of all videos that are tagged with this term. This can help them quickly find any and all content that may interest them on the topic without having to weed through unrelated content on a search query.

**Search —** After tagging and describing videos, users can find the content they are looking for with embedded search features in many video hosting platforms. With these features, visitors can type in a phrase, topic, name, or other descriptor in a search bar, and the most relevant results will appear in list form. From there they can open the desired content. Search tools are often bolstered by filtering options, which can further optimize a page of search results based on the needs of a given visitor. Examples of filtering might include sorting videos by their upload date (e.g., newest to oldest) or popularity (e.g., most views to least views). An application with open-source elements may allow the administrator to change, remove, or add new filters to help streamline these searches.

**Social sharing —** Social media is largely to thank for the current ubiquity of video content. Each day, millions of videos are streamed directly from posts and news feeds on the world’s largest social networks. These include everything from short, funny clips to major promotional videos. Posting videos to one’s social feed may entail copying and pasting a link, uploading a video file directly, or a direct share from a third-party hosting site.

Social sharing tools included on some video hosting platforms enable viewers to instantly reshare content they find important, entertaining, or fitting for a certain occasion. Sharing a video can often be a statement in its own right, in lieu of a personally crafted status. With that said, some sharing features allow users to add a personal description to a video for their followers or tag others who are most likely to benefit from the content. In cases where social sharing features exist, it often takes the form of a small icon or button at the bottom of a hosted video stream. Clicking the button will provide viewers with a shareable link or, in some cases, allow them to share directly to their preferred social profile without having to leave the site or open a new window.

**Live streaming —** Live streaming is another phenomenon of the social age. Filming and editing videos allows for a wide variety of visual content, from commercials to full-length movies. But with live streaming, individuals and brands can create in-the-moment video feeds of newsworthy moments or commentary without the need to edit and delay viewership.

In recent years, some of the largest social sites in the world have implemented live streams, making us more connected and informed than ever. Examples of such streams are live shots of company events or announcements, news conferences, sporting events, and concerts. It can also include live commentary on notable stories, as well as interviews and roundtables. Live video streaming is an included feature in some products in this category, or in some cases, a sole feature of other products or plugins. Video hosting solutions may integrate with third-party products to enable live streaming.

**Commenting —** A signature component of modern video content is the ability for viewers to interact with the creator and other viewers through embedded comment boards. Video comments can be a mix of positive feedback and criticism, and in some cases, they demand a degree of moderation to keep the conversation civil and on topic. When handled professionally, video commenting allows viewers to feel more engaged with their content and gives businesses a steady flow of valuable feedback. For internal-focused video content, commenting promotes interaction among employees and can effectively be a form of collaboration, with both the company itself and other colleagues who are commenting. Some platforms also include other engagement capabilities such as liking and disliking of videos.

**Analytics —** Measuring a video’s performance—from number of views to the average time watched—is crucial to a content team’s process. Reporting and analytics features allow video creators and administrators to accurately gauge a video’s response and effectiveness and use this knowledge moving forward in their production and curation. Analytics can also include information such as viewer demographics, the most popular channels for resharing, and which points in a video causes viewers to bounce. These features can also help users understand the viewing patterns of different visitors, such as which videos are commonly watched in succession. These analytics and insights can assist a business not just with its videos but with its operations as a whole, as they gain a deeper understanding of their customers and their unique relationships with a brand.

### Potential Issues with Video Hosting Platforms

**Inappropriate content —** There is a rash of vulgar video content on the web, which has been an unfortunate side effect of the medium’s popularity. Even if your company does not personally host any of these videos, your users may stumble upon them when navigating one of these sites. And if your employees are given access to the administrative options of your video hosting platform, it can require additional moderation to make sure they do not upload anything inappropriate. Some hosting tools will offer content filters to reduce the chances of people uploading or viewing these materials, but it is still important to be vigilant when exploring these websites and granting access to the features within your company.

**Broken content —** Video files require a significant amount of bandwidth to produce, host, and stream. Because of this, issues can arise where playback is interrupted with lags or glitches. In some rare cases, files may be corrupted or lost completely at some point due to software updates, data migrations, or a simple crash within the software. You may receive a notification if any of these issues arise, but to minimize the risk, you should consider occasional checks of your content to ensure the videos are intact and running smoothly. If any employees have trouble with playback, it might be related to their hardware or internet speed, so be sure to consider that first.

### Software and Services Related to Video Hosting Platforms

With each passing year, multimedia becomes more indispensable to the strategy of the average business. To effectively create and distribute this content, businesses need to invest in the right solutions along the way. Video hosting platforms are part of a larger stack that might include a number of technology tools and professional services, depending on the individual needs and goals of a company. Finding the right integrations and complementary solutions is an essential consideration for any business seeking to make videos part of its repertoire. The following are some solutions you might consider alongside a video hosting platform.

**Video editing software —** Creating an expert video begins, first and foremost, with the right hardware. That can mean anything from your smartphone to professional camera equipment. Once you capture raw footage with your chosen hardware, the next logical step is to piece together the footage so it flows well. This is where [video editing software](https://www.g2.com/categories/video-editing) comes into play.

Video editing products offer helpful tools for compiling disparate footage or refining a single piece of footage into something worth sharing. This usually entails functions such as cropping, transitions, and quality adjustments. It is not uncommon for some content producers to share unedited videos from a single take. Taking the time to edit, though, can be an important step for creating content that is effective, entertaining, and taken seriously by a mass audience.

**Video effects software —** For many out there, basic editing goes hand in hand with adding stylish effects that elevate the content to its true potential. [Video effects software](https://www.g2.com/categories/video-effects) provides users with enhancements that can transform a standard video in a number of ways. These might include subtle effects like spot color or screen filters to computer-generated objects or character alterations. Depending on the purpose of your video or the intended audience, a handful of effects can be the crux of a video project, turning simple footage into a work of art. Additionally, these tools often provide features such as object removal that can be a lifesaver when otherwise perfect footage is marred by minor gaffes.

Video effects software may offer features of or integration with other modern solutions such as [animation software](https://www.g2.com/categories/animation), [3D modeling software, and](https://www.g2.com/categories/3d-modeling)[audio editing software](https://www.g2.com/categories/audio-editing). Professional filmmakers and artists may use any combination of these technologies to craft fully realized videos such as short films, commercials, and feature-length movies. These tools each allow users to add artistic touches to their projects and take full advantage of the medium. Videos can then be uploaded to video hosting platforms at various stages in their progress and use these channels as a foundation for reaching the largest possible number of viewers across an organization or around the world.

**Video production companies —** Not every company has the means or the in-house talent to self-produce quality videos. This is where [video production companies](https://www.g2.com/categories/video-production-companies) might come in handy. In our listings alone, there are hundreds of creative agencies that are capable of tackling a brand’s video ideas and helping to get them seen by the target market. Video production agencies are equipped with quality hardware and software and staffed by talented filmmakers and editing teams that contribute both the technical skills and artistic eye necessary for a range of filmed content.

If your company is considering delving into video, whether for a commercial, an in-depth tutorial, or anything in between, you can reach out to one of these providers for a consultation about your project. If there is a good fit, you can outsource one or all components of the video production lifecycle. This may include brainstorming ideas for a video all the way to hosting and sharing the video once it is complete.

**Digital asset management software —** [Digital asset management software](https://www.g2.com/categories/digital-asset-management) provides a secure repository for branded media files, from company logos to promotional videos. Though they may not offer the embedded streaming and sharing features of video hosting platforms, these tools offer a simple storage solution for media files that are likely to be useful for various departments and initiatives. These tools are especially useful for brand-centric materials that will be used and reused in marketing, sales, and other promotional efforts. Photos, audio clips, and video files stored on these solutions can be accessed across an organization based on permissions established by the administrator. Videos that are eventually bound for hosting and sharing will often begin their journey on digital asset management (DAM) software or similar solutions.la
