A top-player in this space!

Reviewed 5 years ago

I've had a great experience using vooPlayer with my clients. Everyone loves the player!

Pros

Love that you can create really beautiful, customizable players! The feature-set is also amazing as the vooplayer teams actively seeks feeback and feature suggestions which they readily implement if it makes sense! They have weekly webinars where you can come with any questions you have about implementing anything and the webinar host shows you right then and there how to implement it.

Cons

The only thing I find a bit disconcerting is the buffering of some embedded videos while you play it. That's kind of annoying. I've heard it has something to do with the CDN (or lack thereof). Fingers crossed that this is fixed soon.

Perfect for displaying videos in online courses!

Reviewed a year ago

The MOST important feature in my mind: extraordinary customer support! I've asked them several questions, and every time, the answer is fast and thorough!

Pros

We evaluated a number of alternatives, from YouTube to AWS and several in between, but settled on Spotlightr. Our recommended tech stack includes WordPress and LearnDash, so Spotlightr fits in seamlessly. The most useful features, in my opinion:- ability to add questions during video, as overlays (several options)- inability for users to download the video (who knows what they'd do with it?!)- cost-effective, while having nice features such as custom branding and ability to stream from other services (though I prefer to use their streaming as well)

Cons

I'd like for the upload speed to be faster, but it's just because I'm impatient!

Vendor response

Thank you Scott! We appreciate you!

Reviewed 3 years ago

Spotlightr has been a blessing. Loaded features at ever more affordable rates has been the biggest selling points. Great software for someone looking to host their videos online!

Pros

The thing that sold us for spotlightr was its cost structure along with the features it provided. There were a lot! We were able to use the capture gates along with creating beautiful video embeds onto our website. It also has a great integration with multiple tools for example zapier.

Cons

The analytics sometimes tended to misrepresent what we thought should be the actual metrics.

Excellent and stable product

Reviewed a year ago

I was shocked that when I was on the trial option I receive and answer to my question IMMEDIATELY!There are very nice and professional and I think that people should use Spotlightr instead of other platforms.On the other platform, without a reason, links to videos stop working and many courses were stuck.There was a big instability.Here, till now, everything works good.

Pros

It is extremely easy to upload and manage our video files.The user interface is very good.The service is something I've never seen before.I tried other video hosting companies, and this is by far the best!

Cons

I think that it could be nice to have the templates options on a different place and not in settings but this is irrelevant to the simplicity and quality of the service that is excellent

Amazing Video Hosting Platform

Reviewed 3 years ago

i learned about vooplayer about 4 years ago and after getting it, it was game-changing for what i do with video production and real estate phography. it allows for me to host videos without paying an outrageous amount per month. my website gets more traffic, i feel, because of it. i use vooplayer where i can on my site and not just for my content, but sharing videos from other sites like youtube and vimeo. it keeps the coding consistent on my site.

Pros

I love that I'm able to leverage my amazon aws account and host videos there and use vooplayer to provide the skin for my videos. I don't have to rely on a third-party platform to host my videos and pay a crazy subscription fee. vooplayer can even take youtube videos, linkedin videos, and facebook videos and wrap them with their skin and allow me to host that video wherever.

Cons

there's still a lot of user experience improvements that could be done with vooplayer, but overall, after knowing where to go and its limitations on what you can and cannot do, it's not that bad. there are some things like knowing which code to use on your site that will not mess with your site's code, but all of that is trial and error. once you figure it out, just create some step-by-step instructions for yourself to reference and you'll be golden.

Why Spotlightr

Reviewed a year ago

Since I've been with Spotlightr for years, I can honestly state that they have (year over year) improved their platform and made it possible for us to have our viewers watch a fast loading, interactive video in which we can guide them to what we want them to do using the interactive elements Spotlightr provides!

Pros

- Ease of use- All the features one would need, they have it- If you have an agency and need client branding, they have you covered- ADA is very important and CC (closed caption) is a must for any video. With Spotlightr, they have the ability for you to upload your .SRT file and BAM... you got CC on your video.- Customer Service is spot on.- When using their embed code to embed a video on a website, it is fast to view. No lagging!

Cons

Cons: I've been using them for years and truthfully, I don't have any cons. They are priced right, and they have robust features.

A great service for anyone who uses video

Reviewed 6 years ago

It is proving to be a very valuable tool for my business and I would highly recommend it to anyone with a website who makes good use of video. This will help you to take that professionalism to the next level.

Pros

From top to bottom this a fabulously versatile tool. It doesn't matter whether you are using your own videos hosted with Vooplayer or simply using Vooplayer as a pass-through tool for video reporting and the ability to skin the likes of Youtube videos to your liking. For example, it is easy enough for anyone to embed a Youtube video on their site without much expertise, but the problem is it looks...

Cons

There are some quirks to the userinterface such as the way folders work, but other than that this is a very mature and robust service backed by a great support team.

Customize the video experience, branding the player and use marketing on video

Pros

Vooplayer is a really good tool for marketer and media who need to get on the next level with videos. You can use it with other people video content or get secure and private videos. With Vooplayer you can - Customize youtube videos or other video service - remove ads from players - host secure and private videos - Add marketing tools on video like lead captures - view analytics - player's branding. - add to calls Hosting video? No, i choose it because the players customization, branding and marketing tools One of the best video players on the market

Cons

They need to offert more features and improve the speed. They pricing is not expensive but should be more accesible. They try to focus on hosting videos but most of the people pass on that, because youtube is insanly fast, you dont have limits and also people can find your videos so is an extra exposure The solution for host videos is good if you wanna keep private, but most of the people pick other solutions. On the player personalization is good but should be amazing. They should offert more config and extras. Also, they dont support amp

An impressive player

Reviewed 5 years ago

I use it and and I am happy with it. It has been difficult for me to find a good video player that looks professional, it is easy to use and fast enough. I have tried with four before (including Youtube, where I did not like the advertising). And it addition I can AB test videos in lading pages or blog posts to keep improving.

Pros

I like how nice, customizable and how much accurate feedback can give the player. I use in conjunction with other tools like publit.io to host the videos, also could be done on youtube. And I am happy with the result. The player offers very good statistics about the videos (from visits to know average time watched, when people stop watching, AB testing,...). Tons of features that I would only expect on very expensive tools, here I could get included. It looks ideal for video marketers.

Cons

I am very obsessed with the speed. As I am afraid to send people to a page that can be buffering or not loading fast. First time that I installed I was unhappy with speed. But now the player has a new look and I think loads faster.

So happy to have moved to Spotlightr

Reviewed 2 years ago

Reduced our customer service tickets by using Spotlightr to host and embed videos for our event. No reported technical problems or international access problems.

Pros

Super smooth experience using Spotlightr to host/embed videos for our online summit/conference (the biggest ever - 122k). Top-tier customer service. They understood our needs as a business. Great quality and ease of use. Moved off Vimeo with ease and haven't looked back. The pricing model is more in line with our business needs.

Cons

Looking forward to improved reporting features.

Highly customisable playing options, granular analytics

Reviewed 5 years ago

I need to collect email before seeing a training video that is gated, and then see who watched my video and how much. Vooplayer allows me to do that perfectly.

Pros

The analytics and support are standout features for me. VooPlayer shows me how engaging my videos are, who is most interested in them, and how I should spend my time in following up leads and what to include in future videos.

Cons

Some tricky following a couple of the support documents, but the support through the chat was outstanding and helped me achieve exactly how I wanted my setup to be.

Protect your videos with VooPlayer

Reviewed 6 years ago

My experience with VooPlayer has thus far been great. I love how you can customise the player and add different CTAs.

Pros

With VooPlayer you can store your videos and, from there, do many other things. One of my favourite features is to password protect them. Therefore, only people with the password can view them. Also, you can add CTAs and you can import videos from YouTube.

Cons

What I like least is that I seem to be having trouble embedding some of the videos onto my WordPress site.

The best video protect app

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

vooPlayer help me prevent video download from the internet. Just using its hosting or combining with Amazon S3 (encryption). Moreover, it has the domain whitelist function support. Even screen record is useless if I disable full-screen function in vooPlayer. I have unlimited storage when I host my videos in Amazon S3 that is awesome. It's must-have for any coaches and content marketer.

Cons

The vooPlayer hosting is expensive with 50GB only for Enterprise Plan. Sometimes, it's crash when uploading videos.

Pros

Hybrid video hosting. It's great to be able to host videos on YouTube, ad-free, and present them on my website with a fully customizable and interactive video player. YouTube still counts views: win-win.

Hosting fees are high, thus my reliance on their (much appreciated!) hybrid hosting options. Were those prices to drop, I'd consider hosting the videos for my online courses directly with vooPlayer.

I love this player for the fact I can refer clients to watch a video on my website without them being distracted by YouTube branding and suggestions. Keeps people on my site longer.

Pros

I can remove all the YouTube branding and customize the way the player looks right on my website. My client doesn't get stuck going down a video rabbit hole after they watch the video on my page bc mond of the YouTube suggestions are shown.

Cons

I don't have enough storage for long videos and fast playback and more storage come at a premium.
