A complete video delivery and monetization platform for broadcasters, publishers, and advertisers.
Viloud is perfect for broadcasters, marketing teams, video content owners and creators who are looking to stream their content easily in a live linear way.
It's extremely robust and the API is better than any other player I've used which makes it a great choice for customization.
It does not work very well. More "YouTube-like" when it comes to adding a clickable link to me, is a key component missing.
Its nice flash video player for your own site or blog. Customizable and and also have free version which is good.
This happens even on the fastest of Internet connections. Inexplicable Crashes and Error Screens that abruptly stop playback, which can happen even on video files that are not corrupted.
So this JW Player helps me to watch movies, Music videos online as well as downloaded ones. It is very easy to handle and also the interface is very attractive and very eye favorable.
A number of formats I tried seem to quite clunky and did not play back as smoothly as I hoped. When introducing 4K, the problems got worse.
Overall experience with Video Hosting was good. From uploading videos to Analysing the Audience engagement, were all easy and reliable.
Even their support team members told us that they understood that our international customers are having a bad time and it makes sense for us to move on.
Viloud is an amazing way to create your own TV channel that is easy to use, affordable, and it has a great customer support team that is always there for you.
As your channel grows you have to constantly pay for more storage and bandwidth so that can be costly over time.
The thing I like most about the software is its ease of use and then when you do have a question, the customer service is terrific. They answer me quickly and they give me real, honest answers.
I find that because I'm not technical, I have to learn a lot of new things at the same time and that can be frustrating and very slow in setting up my channel.
Viloud is helping me tremendously with my traveling business videos and made my dream come true in an affordable and easy way.
There was a problem with going live when I first began using Viloud.
Overall, we're happy we made the purchase. We believe it will help us make money in the future so we look at it as one of the investments to help us reach our financial goals.

Bryan C.: Hi, I'm Bryan. I'm a digital and video specialist, and I give JW Player a four out of five. If you want to see other reviews, click below. We use primarily JW Player for storing and hosting our videos that we play on our websites. We have eight different brands and so there's a lot of... We break it down into different levels, and primarily it's to monitor, upload, use all the links, also to track how many views are being taken and so forth. One of the things I really like is recently, within about the past year, they updated their GFI in their dashboard. At first, I was a little dubious about it because you know how you get used to certain things. But actually it ends up being... It's works out really, really well, and it's easy to move around and find what you need. The one thing that JW Player kind of falls down a little bit on is that they don't really have a good way of putting a URL, active URL, in the video. They do, but you could put a logo up at the top right or top left, or you can put some text, but there's very little leeway. You can't move it around. You can't make it bigger.
