What is your favorite video hosting platform and why?
I have experience only with Instagram reels. I was working on videos for my account, but the response wasn’t good. One day I made a video for a friend who makes river tables; the reel got more than a thousand views. I tried to figure out why did that happen. Even though the performance metrics were easy to read, I could not figure out why the reel got such great exposure.
At the minute we are using both YouTube and Vimeo, with both having their advantages and disadvantages. With the likes of YouTube, you are benefiting from using the second largest search engine, and is a great place to host marketing videos, when looking to increase your reach.
youtube is definately a good pne also with the analytics it can help understand how your KPIs are working out
YouTube
It’s currently YouTube because,
1. They have the biggest distribution,
2. The algorithms are already going & if we can convince people to like the video - the work is done.
3. We can make an enormous library here.
Needless to say, YouTube is the prime choice now - the largest video channel, ease of use, second largest search engine etc. At the same time, important to remember that sites/apps like TikTok grew in popularity (and functionality as well) very fast. TikTok focused on short videos. TikTok offered some uniqueness and that’s why it is also very popular now. The lesson is - in this fast chaging tech era, things really change very fast. That’s why - although today YouTube, TikTok and other similar video sharing platforms (like even Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Snapchats or even YouTube Shorts etc.) are popular, we should have an open mind to accept new additions that can dramatically change how people upload, watch, share videos and how their analytics, algorithms work.
I currently use a mix of platforms depending on the project:
- Vimeo – I like it for its clean embeds, ad-free experience, and customizable player. It keeps the focus on the content, which is great for client-facing projects.
- Wistia – My go-to when I need detailed analytics and engagement tracking. The heatmaps, play rates, and lead capture tools make it easy to optimize video performance.
- GudSho – From personal experience, this has been reliable, easy to use, and high-quality. The embeds work seamlessly on my sites, and the interface is straightforward, making uploads and organization simple.
Each one serves a different need, but GudSho has become a strong everyday choice for quick, professional hosting.
youtube , a bunch of long videos , good content , but i would def use tiktok for shorter videos
