I know that many of our readers are fans of using YouTube as a video hosting platform. While I completely agree that almost everyone should leverage YouTube itself for its massive audience, and while there are clearly some benefits to using YouTube, (mainly – it is free) there are reasons why a business may choose a custom video platform solution for their own website (player customization and content rights to name a few). Even more important to me, is the fact that currently the easiest way to get your own site’s video thumbnails to show up in Google Universal search (pointing to your url vs YouTube’s), is to use a platform other than YouTube to power your website videos. All that being said, with more than 60 platform solutions that I can think of myself, it can quickly become overwhelming to choose a custom video hosting/streaming platform service. Our friend Kristopher Drey created a comparison tool and directory of online video platforms (OVPs), VidCompare . I interviewed Kris a few months back and asked him to tell us a bit more about the service and to provide some tips as to what to consider when shopping for an online video platform solution. What to Consider when Shopping for an Online Video Platform Kris provided a few good tips in our interview and also authored an in-depth article on ReelSEO about what to consider when shopping for a custom online video platform.
