# Best Video Platform as a Service (VPaaS) Software - Page 4

*By [Adam Crivello](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/adam-crivello)*


Video platform as a service (VPaaS) software provides APIs for developing video-based applications like video chat tools, live streaming platforms, video hosting sites, and more. Since VPaaS solutions are development platforms, users can create and customize their own video solution, though some products may have use cases they are better suited for. While VPaaS products can vary in terms of the secondary features they provide, all products provide foundational features like encoding, [content delivery network (CDN)](https://www.g2.com/categories/content-delivery-network-cdn) access, and media players.

[Cloud communication platforms](https://www.g2.com/categories/cloud-communication-platforms) sometimes include an API intended specifically for video functionality; these platforms are best suited for creating video communication tools akin to [video conferencing software](https://www.g2.com/categories/video-conferencing). [OTT platforms](https://www.g2.com/categories/ott-platforms) can be used to develop over-the-top (OTT) video streaming services which is a great option for users looking to create a video streaming platform specifically.

To qualify for inclusion in the Video Platform as a Service (VPaaS) category, a product must:

- Host APIs that allow developers to add video functionality to applications
- Provide features that support video delivery and performance
