I love using Wistia for hosting video for my businesses and a few clients. It provides seamless playback on my website without buffering and allows me to securely share videos with my clients. I love that I am in control of the experience because platforms like YouTube tend to pull in too much noise with their suggested videos. Wistia is a great company with a great culture, and their support is great. They offer a lot of great resources, like blog posts relevant to my industry, great support forums, and tutorials when they make UI updates. The initial setup was very easy, and I have been happily using Wistia for about 14 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is frustrating that they do not have an Android mobile app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how user friendly and intuitive it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how slow updates come from Wistia Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Super easy to update videos, accessibility features. Clean layout and easy to use with API. Uploading is super quick and it helps us a lot with the business linking our videos to our platform. The AI captions are also great and we love that it allows us to edit and also translate into another language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel there could be better folder organization options and ways to organise our content maybe using AI. There should also be more options where we can see stats on not jut performance but how many of our videos have captions, have certain accessibility features, and an easy way to bulk change certain things across a specific folder. For example, we want captions on all of our videos so it would be nice to be able to filter for ones that aren't captioned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Wistia has evolved from a video hosting site to a holistic, comprehensive tool for video Marketing.

We use Wistia to record remote client interviews, pre-recorded Webinars, and live Webinars. I appreciate that the recording tools are a lot more polished and streamlined than typical video conferencing software. And they are easy to use and browser-based so non-technical teammembers and guests are not overwhelmed.

The browser-based editing tools are also a huge asset for scalability. Because of these tools and the fact that recordings are hosted in the same platform, non-technical marketers on our Content and Social teams can easily repurpose long form media for other channels without tapping our Video team's limited bandwidth.

Overall, amazing tool that makes our video team so much more efficient and scalable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The recording platform is great but not quite as flexible and professional as dedicated solutions. There are a few features of the recording platform that I would like to see implemented:

-Downloadable separate tracks for each speaker during live webinars

-Separate, high quality audio tracks for each speaker

-Ability to map keyboard shortcuts to change layouts or spotlight speakers during recording

-Ability for Producer to unmute and communicate with guests without being on stage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't get this to use for editing, but the editing suite is actually very intuitive. I am a professional editor, so I have the tools, but I see this suite being very useful for product teams who need to create content but don't have access to a producer or past video editing experience. Love the zoom feature as well.

Also I like the AI Engine optimization features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like if the viewer that we share with prospects looked a bit more polished like a YouTube instead of a back-end video platform. Not the biggest deal though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Wistia for its ability to provide quick translations and closed captioning for videos. It really adds value with ease of translation, especially as we are becoming more internationally accessible. It's extremely simple with just a few clicks to make translated text and captions available to clients, which streamlines our efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the folder structure and search functionality can be a bit tough. Unless your team coordinates on how you organize things, or you use the very specific words in the title of your video, it can be hard to find your video. It would be nice if when you search for a video, it also analyzes the transcript to suggest videos you might be looking for beyond the title. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Wistia to upload instructional videos that are embedded on my company's LMS. I find it easy to leave comments while reviewing videos. I also like the new AI feature for editing videos, which helps me make the most of every video, including live webinars. This feature lets me create shortened, better-structured versions and has significantly cut my editing time, making Wistia not only a good source library but also a tool to repurpose and improve content. The initial setup was extremely easy and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool used to correct the caption timing, the user experience is not so good. It would be nice to have an easier way to cut the subtitles layers, and not just drag the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On our platform, the Wistia integration has been almost flawless. Using a third-party vendor for video storage has made life a lot easier for us. Uploading videos and pulling them back up later has been consistently stellar in terms of performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While I personally haven’t had any issues with Wistia, I have received some client feedback through support tickets about viewing usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

An easy way to search for the video you need. Uploads are fast, and the video replacement feature is really convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The subtitles could be better. It doesn’t seem to be learning, and it would be nice if, after generating a few videos with subtitles, it would keep writing “Yoast” as “Yoast” instead of changing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
