What Is a Private Video Hosting Platform?
Private video hosting platforms for business can increase the ROI you get from video marketing, as well as provide other facilities such as asset protection, efficient video management for teams, live streaming at scale and analytics.

Why Should You Consider a Private Video Hosting Platform?
Some key reasons include the ability to:
- Live stream video at scale through multiple channels
- Monetize your videos in different ways, including adding your own ad content
- Provide a speedier experience for viewers
- Remove unwanted distractions that platforms like YouTube layer into your video
- Secure your video content, and ensure it’s only available for those who should have access to it
- Boost engagement with recommendation engines that only recommend follow-on videos from your own library
- Access proper support and technical assistance
- View analytics to better understand engagement and assist with content amplification
- And other facilities that you’ll discover below...
